Colombia Ombudsman demands action on San Miguel River pollution in Putumayo

Colombia's Defensoría del Pueblo has formally requested government action over environmental degradation in the San Miguel River, citing fish kills, offensive odors, waste accumulation, and water quality impacts. The request follows reported contamination likely linked to nearby activities, though the source does not specify the polluter. This raises pressure on authorities to address environmental enforcement in a region affected by illicit economies and border dynamics.
