Overview
- The municipality said 21 churches in the Cercado de Lima are approved for visits after technical checks of 36 temples that reviewed wiring, exit signs, crowd limits and fire extinguishers.
- Officials detailed a security rollout with 444 CCTV cameras, 15 drones, 800 serenos (municipal watch officers) and 300 city inspectors to curb illegal street vending, coordinated with national police and the central government.
- National Cabinet chief Luis Enrique Arroyo Sánchez said 27,000 personnel will support street patrols in the capital during Holy Week in line with the city’s plan.
- Traffic managers will close streets in the Historic Center from April 2–5, with a full vehicle ban in the Damero de Pizarro from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and staff will guide pedestrian flow during processions.
- City services will field more than 500 workers and over 100 machines to clean routes for 12 processions, and the public is urged to skip packed temples and avoid taking strollers or frail elders into dense crowds as 16 churches stay closed for renovations or by choice.
