The lights of the Georgetown seawall bandstand at Kingston have been turned off because of vandalism and theft.
A source in the Traffic and Highway Lights Department of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure explained that the vandalism has been constant in recent months. The source told Stabroek News that whenever the lights are turned on, vendors and other persons around the area would usually piggyback on the electrical supply, which results in a fluctuation of electricity that often destroys the lights.
“Whenever there’s activity there on Saturdays and Sundays, by the Monday it would come off again and so we have a problem with vandalism and theft and we are looking into it at the moment. If our Department keeps rectifying the problem and it keeps occurring then we won’t be getting anywhere,” the source explained.
