The Permanent Commission of Congress has unanimously approved a bill to declare July 10 as a non-working day annually in the province of Tambopata, located in the Madre de Dios department of Peru. This measure aims to commemorate the historical anniversary of Puerto Maldonado, the provincial capital.

The approved bill, Project of Law 14718, received 24 votes in favor and establishes a specific labor regime for its implementation. It will benefit both public and private sector workers who carry out their activities within the Tambopata province. The legislation respects the corresponding labor regulations for each sector.

During the debate, Alex Paredes Gonzales, president of the Committee on Labor and Social Security, stated that the committee recognized the date as an event of special significance for the local population.
