Paraguay's National Emergency Secretariat (SEN) sheltered four homeless people in the early hours of Tuesday as part of Operation Jaho'i, which activates the Costanera Sur shelter when temperatures drop below 10 °C. The facility has capacity for 30 people and offers food, showers, warm clothing, and medical assistance. Three other individuals who chose to stay on the streets received mattresses and blankets.
The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) will formalize the transfer of the medium and low voltage electrical grid of Costanera Sul to the National Electricity Administration (ANDE), while the Asunción Municipality will take over ornamental lighting. The decision was made in a strategic meeting among authorities from the three institutions, who also discussed improvements in lighting for priority areas such as La Victoria Avenue and the Asunción Bus Terminal.
