President must ‘urgently address’ Berbice power situation, says Corentyne Chamber

Tirtawattie Shoandeo

In wake of a blackout at the New Amsterdam Hospital during surgery on a woman who later died, the Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce (CCCC) yesterday called for a thorough investigation while urging President Donald Ramotar to address the power situation in Berbice.

“…Tirtawattie Shoandeo is probably another victim  of the blackouts,” the CCCC said in a statement yesterday, while noting the account of her son that doctors were frantically searching for torch-lights after the blackout hit.
