Guyana is expected to receive three additional mobile pumps by late October to aid with its drainage capabilities ahead of the next rainy season.
This was disclosed by India’s High Commissioner to Guyana, Dr. K. J. Srinivasa, during a courtesy call to Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha at his Regent Street office earlier yesterday.
“The pumps, I believe they will be used for irrigation, should be here by October. They have already left India. As it is now, we have some specialists that are expected to come to Guyana to assist with the installation of the pumps. We are working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Guyana’s High Commission in India to assist with visas and other logistical support to the officers,” High Commissioner Dr. Srinivasa said, according to a release from the Ministry of Agriculture.
