Overview
- Blockades concentrated at the Tepotzotlán toll on the México–Querétaro highway and on Periférico Norte near Parque Naucalli forced lane reductions and heavy congestion for drivers heading into the capital.
- Caravans of pipas, taxis and tow trucks set out toward the Zócalo and Palacio Nacional, with police containment reported and lateral lanes left open at points to partially relieve traffic.
- Participants demand closure of investigation files and a dialogue with federal authorities, including a requested meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum and representatives from the Interior Ministry.
- Operativo Caudal is a coordinated action by Sedena, Marina, the National Guard, the Edomex prosecutor’s office, Conagua and CAEM to intervene wells, shut clandestine taps and seize trucks tied to alleged illegal water sales.
- Water shortages and long lines at purificadoras were reported in several State of Mexico municipalities, while the caravan size reached roughly 2,500 vehicles according to press accounts.
