Several areas along the Essequibo Coast were still under water yesterday and the Anna Regina Secondary School remained closed until further notice owing to the flooding.
Several pumps were deployed to some of the flood-affected villages to aid in draining the water from the land.
However, when Stabroek News made contact with residents of Lima, Richmond and Land of Plenty, the water had dropped only by an half inch.
Meanwhile, according to the Education Department of Region Two, the Anna Regina Secondary School will remained closed until further notice because of the excessive water in the compound of the school and the dormitory.
On Saturday last, Regional Chairman along with the Regional Education Officer had made a decision to send home occupants of the dormitory. He also said that after the water has gone down, sanitation works will be done.
This is a crucial time for secondary school students to be away from classes with the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations set to start in less than five months.
