Twenty seven communities in Region Ten will benefit from works to be done by the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) for the first time there.

According to a GINA press release, Chief Executive Officer of the NDIA, Frederick Flatts, said that a large excavator and two smaller ones have been deployed to the Region to assist with drainage and irrigation works.

“We are seeking to do enough works in Linden to make it possible for people to plant and so people can be more self-sufficient,” the release quoted Flatts as saying.
