Cochabamba Roadblock Cleared by Bolivian Police

Cochabamba Roadblock Cleared: Police Disperse Protesters, Restore Western Route. A significant roadblock in Sipe Sipe, Cochabamba, Bolivia, was cleared this morning by police forces. Supporters of former president Evo Morales had erected the blockade, disrupting traffic to the western part of the country. The blockade, which began yesterday, consisted of large mounds of earth and other debris placed across the highway. "Heavy machinery is removing the promontories of earth that prevent circulation," reported a Bolivia TV correspondent on the scene. Police, under the command of the departmental command, launched an operation in the early morning to clear the road. The operation resulted in the dispersal of the protesters, who were seen moving to the side of the road as police advanced. The reporter noted the impact on a nearby gas station, which was unable to receive fuel deliveries due to the roadblock. The police plan is to continue clearing other blockades in Cochabamba, ensuring the free flow of traffic and essential supplies. This is a positive step towards restoring normalcy in the region.
