Get your act together, GPL!

THE Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) is being called upon to get its act together, as residents of East Ruimveldt are warning that if their concerns are not addressed, they will picket the power company.Residents of that Georgetown ward are up-in-arm over a GPL pole which has been rotting for months now. According to information received, the post (pole) broke four nights ago, causing residents in the area much

discomfort.

The Chronicle was informed that after the post broke on Monday night, the area began experiencing continuous power fluctuations, which have so far (allegedly) damaged a few appliances.

Residents say a crew from GPL showed up in the area and inspected the pole, but never returned. The pole, now compromised, is said to be responsible for supplying power to approximately 20 homes in the community.
