The troops have been deployed throughout the state, including in Puerto Vallarta and other key areas. In Puerto Vallarta, officials said sufficient personnel have been deployed to ensure the restoration of public transportation, food supplies and services supporting the hotel zone and the broader population. Authorities emphasized that stabilizing the major Pacific tourist destination remains a priority.
Officials said there have been no reports of new incidents and that crews continue clearing highways and removing damaged vehicles left behind during the disturbances.
Authorities called on residents – including parents, business owners, workers, students and public servants – to help restore normalcy in the city and across the state.
The information was released by the Government of Jalisco.
