Mazatlan, Sinaloa.- In the last 45 days, the Directorate of Ecology and Environment has issued 60 fines for breaches of the Sustainable Development Regulations of the Municipality of Mazatlan, Lourdes Sanjuan Gallardo reported.

The sanctions issued range from 35 to 75 UMAS, which is equivalent to 2 thousand 957 pesos minimum, up to 6 thousand 337 pesos, approximately, maximum.
“Fines that we have exercised in cash only to businesses 60; they deposit it in neighboring streets, that is the most worrying thing. They have to pay their collection, so if they pay for the collection of their garbage, Urban garbage collection is committed to providing the service, but if you leave it in the street of the neighbor then it becomes a real problem, “said Sanjuan Gallardo.
