Floodwater in Regions Nine and Ten is slowly receding as teams continue to conduct assessments of the damage caused.
Region Nine Chairman Bryan Allicock told Stabroek News that there was a lull in rainfall in Lethem yesterday but the Takutu and Tabatinga rivers remain at a high level. Nevertheless, he said, floodwaters have been receding, albeit very slowly. He disclosed that monitoring teams have been dispatched to communities in the region to conduct assessments. At the time he was contacted, Allicock said that the teams were yet to report their findings.
