Residents of an urban area in Pedro Juan Caballero reported this month structural and environmental damage they attribute to the operation of a plastic factory installed in the region. According to the accounts, houses show cracks and sinkholes, while neighbors also warn of possible infiltrations and soil contamination in the surroundings.
The residents say the problems intensified after the factory began operations, and they ask that the competent authorities conduct inspections to verify the situation and determine responsibilities. So far, there is no official information about the opening of an investigation or measures taken by the public authorities.
The complaint was made through reports to the local press, without it being possible to independently confirm the extent of the damage or the direct link to industrial activity. The plastic factory, whose name was not disclosed, operates in a residential area, raising questions about environmental licensing and compliance with safety standards.
