The Guyana Police Force yesterday reopened the Bonasika Police Outpost  (right bank of Essequibo River and around 10 miles above Parika) which was closed since 2008 due to its then inhabitable state.

A release from the police said that the renovated structure is now manned by a police corporal, two regular ranks and three neighbourhood police who reside in the Bonasika Community.

Divisional Commander ‘D’ Division Senior Superintendent Rishi Das along with Deputy Superintendent Patrick Todd and other ranks visited the Outpost to ensure everything was in place, including a boat and engine.

The Bonasika Outpost was commissioned in 1985.
