João Pessoa municipal government conducts urban maintenance and cemetery updates
The municipal government of João Pessoa is executing several urban maintenance and administrative programs. The Secretariat of Infrastructure (Seinfra) is conducting pothole repairs, drainage network improvements, and public lighting maintenance across approximately 42 neighborhoods.
Simultaneously, the Municipal Urban Cleaning Authority (Emlur) and the Secretariat of Urban Services and Care (Sesuz) are performing cleaning, weeding, and maintenance of public spaces, including the coastline and over 200 squares.
Regarding cemetery management, the Secretariat of Urban Development (Sedurb) is conducting a 2026 registry update for tombs, mausoleums, and plots. Officials noted that failure to update these records may result in the municipality treating the spaces as abandoned, leading to the extinction of concessions. Additionally, the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) recently deployed 80 agents and smart city technology to ensure security during the All Souls' Day holiday, which saw an estimated 50,000 visitors to the city's public cemeteries.
