More pumps needed in Region Two

Jun 28, 2014 News

A Partnership For National Unity Regional Councillor, Wazeer Latiff, is contending that Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) needs to be fully equipped with adequate pumps, in order to reduce consistent flooding.
Latiff’s calls come in light of a recent incident which resulted in flooding in areas including Anna Regina, Bush Lot and Cotton Field. According to Latiff the two pump attendants who were assigned at a koker at Anna Regina, fell asleep after consuming alcohol during the course of Father’s Day and left the koker door open.
The men were eventually fired by the Regional Administration after a report was filtered to the Regional Chairman about the men’s conduct on the job.
Latiff said the Region Two Administration must be commended for the action taken against the defaulters.
A Cotton Field businessman whose bottom flat was flooded said it took him almost the entire day to clean his place.  The salt water also posed a threat to his plants and to his tenants who have rented the bottom flat.
He said that Father’s Day was spent cleaning up his premises instead of him spending quality time with his family.
The Anglican priest attached at the Holy Trinity Church at Anna Regina is questioning who is going to repay him for the damage to his carpet.
A supermarket at Henerietta, the Anna Regina Police Station, and the Anglican Church were all inundated.
