Boat operators and commuters using the Charity Wharf on the Essequibo Coast, say it is on the verge of collapsing completely and could result in injuries if it is not fixed soon, while Regional Chairman, Devanand Ramdatt has deemed it “a disaster waiting to happen.”
During a visit last Friday, some of the boat operators told Stabroek News that many of the boards are missing and that some, along with the pillars, have become rotten.
Ramdatt told this newspaper that the wharf has been in a “dangerous position for more than 18 years and since then the region has been knocking at the doorsteps of the government” to get it fixed.
