In 1987, the Pallqas military base was withdrawn from the area as part of a change in government policy to capture community members. Villagers reported mistreatment and abuse during this action. This withdrawal was part of a broader strategy that included the establishment of a new military base in Chapi at the end of 1987, under the command of Major Miguel Seminario Ayacuchano, who implemented a different treatment of the civilian population. The change in military policy sought to recover the population from PCP-SL subversion rather than continue with indiscriminate repression.
