Government yesterday deployed a team of engineers and other experts from various agencies to Coomacka Village, Upper Demerara-Berbice (Region Ten), to explore several short, medium and long-term solutions to flooding and siltation which has wrought havoc in the area.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the plans being explored include the construction of a new main access bridge and the desilting of the Demerara River. These solutions, the release said, are aimed at tackling the impassable roads and frequent flooding during the rainy season due to intense erosion in the farming community.
