COResidents in the east and south of Cali have reported strong, unpleasant odors that have caused distress, particularly at night. The cause remains undetermined despite efforts by environmental authorities. The Department of Environmental Management (DAGMA) has launched a platform allowing citizens to report specific locations and times when they detect the odor, aiming to map the issue using wind data and conduct field inspections. Social media discussions suggest various hypotheses, including waste mismanagement and sugarcane burning. While most reports focus on the eastern and southern areas, some residents in the northern parts near the east also mention the smell.
