Transmission lines bad news for Lamaha embankment squatters

In the light of plans to install power transmission lines, government has restated its intent to reclaim the Lamaha Railway embankment land reserve which has been occupied by squatters for decades.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, updating members on the developments at Guyana Power and Light (GPL) last Wednesday at a Parliamentary Sectoral Committee meeting, said that when the 20-megawatt station is built at Kingston, transmission lines would have to be installed at the former train line area parallel to Lamaha Street.
