Twenty alleyways between North, South Ruimveldt to be desilted

Resident Shaun Benn raising concerns

A proposal to bring immediate relief to the decades-old drainage problems of flood-prone South Georgetown was yesterday unveiled to residents during a multi-agency government outreach.

The proposal was presented to residents by Chairman of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) Lionel Wordsworth, days after an impromptu visit by President Irfaan Ali, where he committed to addressing the flooding woes of the communities.

In the plan to alleviate the waterlogged situation, Wordsworth announced that they will be looking to clean and desilt 20 alleyways between North and South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
