The defective koker that had resulted in the flooding of the Little Diamond community is now working and the new door and upgrades to the sluice are expected to be installed soon.
Operator of the koker Ibrahim Shakur told Stabroek News yesterday that they were able to get the sluice door opened and working and the contractor is almost finished with constructing the new door. He explained that sluice is working as per normal, but in addition to the new door, the area will be built up so as to prevent overtopping from the river during high tides.
