-No. 43 koker silted up
By David Papannah
Residents of Black Bush Polder were “punishing” for water for their rice crop due to a broken pump but with the rainy season on they were yesterday flooded because of mud blocking a key koker.
The farmers told Stabroek News, “We did not get that kind of rain to cause so much flooding.”
According to them, the outlet at No 43 Village which drains the Johanna and Yakusari areas was silted up and the water had “nowhere to go.”
