Grupo Intocable Brings Tour Excitement To Hermosillo

City grapples with recent accidents and clandestine grave discoveries as concert approaches.

Grupo Intocable is set to light up Hermosillo with their upcoming performance as part of the 'Antología Tour,' bringing excitement to fans eager to hear hits like 'Fuerte no soy' and '¿Y todo para qué?'. Announcing the concert on their Instagram feed, the renowned band will grace the city on May 23, 2024, showcasing over 30 years of musical experience. This event promises to be spectacular, yet there's some confusion about the venue; it lists 'Plaza de Toros' as the location, which the city currently lacks. The previous successful performance took place at the Centro de Usos Múltiples (CUM) last year, raising expectations for another thrilling show.

Meanwhile, the community of Hermosillo faced incidents more concerning than just entertainment. On February 3, 2024, residents woke up to news of a reckless vehicle crash at the Balderrama neighborhood. A concrete utility pole belonging to the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) was struck by the abandoned vehicle, leaving the pole precariously displaced. According to the local Police Preventive and Transit Municipal, the impact happened around 6:00 AM on the corner of Reforma and José María Mendoza streets. With the vehicle left at the scene, specifics about the accident remain unclear. The police have categorized this incident under the Article 146 of the State of Sonora's Traffic Law, which governs dangerous and reckless driving.

The repercussions of the accident have raised serious safety concerns for residents and commuters alike. The fallen CFE pole not only presents dangers to passing vehicles but also poses risks to pedestrians, as confirmed by local reports seeking immediate action to remedy the situation.

On the public service front, residents were notified about upcoming water supply disruptions due to maintenance work scheduled for February 4, 2024. Through social media, Agua de Hermosillo announced the provisional valve closures beginning at 10:00 AM to improve services. Various neighborhoods, including Centro, Centenario, and Las Palmas, are expected to face interruptions, with restoration services projected to resume around 8:00 PM if everything goes according to schedule. This community alert urges residents to prepare accordingly and stock up on water.

Adding to the distressing atmosphere, the community is also grappling with the aftermath of troubling discoveries related to local crime. Just one week after the shocking discovery of 39 clandestine graves, authorities reported finding yet another site, bringing the total count to 40. This latest finding occurred on February 3, 2024, as members of the Buscadoras de la Paz de Sonora continued their search for missing individuals. Cecilia Delgado, the group's representative, detailed the continuing grim operations, confirming the recovery of seven bodies among the remains identified.

The involvement of numerous authorities, including the Comisión de Búsqueda, and local law enforcement highlights the collaborative efforts undertaken to address these pressing issues. These tragic discoveries stir echoes of pain and fear among residents, reminding the community of the harsh realities faced by many families.

At this juncture, Hermosillo is caught between celebrations of its cultural heritage through music and the raw emotions stemming from recent incidents. The upcoming concert promises to offer escapism for the local populace, yet the underlying issues of safety, community services, and crime linger heavily on their minds. The dynamics of life here encapsulate both the highs of shared joy and the lows of facing adversities head-on.
