The electricity and telecommunications solidarity brigades from the country’s other regions took up the call made by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel when he asked them to join forces to repair the damage.

The population from Pinar del Río is intensively working in agricultural production, especially the banana plantations severely affected by Ian as well as tobacco houses and crops.

During a recent visit to the westernmost territory, the fifth since September 26 when Hurricane Ian exited through northern Puerto Esperanza, the president affirmed that Pinar del Río is not alone.

In his tour of Consolación del Sur and Viñales municipalities, Díaz-Canel was concerned about the current situation of the people and the work in the offices where the forms are received to grant construction materials for damaged houses.
