Efforts were underway last evening to replace a broken sluice door at Kingston after it was reported to have been damaged as a result of the high tide on Friday.

Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha, who visited the damaged structure, said in a Facebook live video that a contractor was mobilised to install logs as a temporary measure until there was a low tide last night when a more durable stainless steel door could be installed.

Up to last evening there was serious flooding as a result of the broken door.
