Safety concerns rise in Salinas over power pole and illegal racing

Residents in the Salinas neighborhood are reporting a dangerous infrastructure failure on Ayacucho Avenue. A high-voltage power pole is reportedly leaning at a severe angle and appears to be held up only by the electrical cables themselves. Local citizens have expressed urgent concern for the safety of pedestrians, students, and commuters, calling for immediate technical inspections and repairs by electricity service providers to prevent a potential accident.

Separately, authorities are facing concerns regarding an announcement for illegal nighttime motorcycle races on the Ayacucho–Andahuaylas highway. The organized event, which includes betting and prizes, plans to move from Miraflores Park toward Chupas and Chiara. Critics note that the public highway lacks the necessary safety barriers and escape zones required for racing, prompting calls for intervention by the National Police and local municipalities to enforce traffic regulations.
