College in Chame Vandalized Again

Once again, the Colegio Harmodio Arias Madrid in Chame has been vandalized. According to reports from vigilant residents in the neighboring Celaje sector, the incident occurred on Saturday night. The community, which is on high alert, is calling on the MEDUCA to hire security guards as soon as possible. The college, which has been recently renovated, has no guards and has suffered two attacks from idle thieves in less than a month. The vandals destroyed the offices of the night shift, and previously did the same to the day shift. According to the DIJ, the necessary inspections are being carried out, and more support from the authorities was expected. This college has an enrollment of nearly 3,000 students. The damage has been extensive to the electrical, technological, and information sectors for the student body.
