While October 5 was given by GAICO Construction General Services Inc as the date for recommencing the dredging of the Pomeroon River, works have not yet started.
This is according to the Chair of the Region Two council, Vilma De Silva, who responded “Not as yet” when asked on Tuesday by Stabroek News if works had restarted.
Back in April, 2022 the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) under the Ministry of Agriculture signed a $569,300,000 contract with Gaico Construction and General Services Inc for the dredging of the mouth of the Pomeroon River.
