CHAIRMAN of Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam), Mr. Parmanand Persaud has assured Councillors of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) that work will begin, shortly, to repair the river defence dam at Liberty, Upper Pomeroon River, to protect the primary school there from flooding during high tides.

Responding to A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Councillor Prince Shepherd, on flooding at the primary school, the Chairman said he knows about the situation.
He said he has inspected the place and seen some three inches of flood water on the floor during a high tide in the Pomeroon River.
Persaud said a contract will be awarded for the construction of the dam that will prevent the school from being flooded.
Shepherd said he, too, visited the school recently, saw the compound water logged and charged that the building is sinking and after being flooded every time there is a high tide in the Pomeroon River. (Prabhulall)
