The Town Hall of Garganta de los Montes has conveyed its deepest sorrow and absolute solidarity to the people of Colombia after the devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake recorded last Monday. In an official statement, the local corporation wanted to extend its condolences to the families of the deceased victims, to the hundreds of injured, and to all those affected in regions such as Chocó, Valle del Cauca, or the Coffee Axis.
The council has shown special attention to the Colombian community residing in the municipality and in the rest of the Sierra Norte region. The message acknowledges the hours of immense anguish being experienced by those trying to contact their loved ones in the Andean country, affected by disruptions in communication and energy infrastructure.
