A breach in a dam at Strath Campbell, Mahaicony has flooded acres of land and because of the condition of the area heavy vehicles can’t be transported immediately to fix it.
Region Five Chairman Vickchand Ramphal told Stabroek News yesterday that while he is aware of the issue the farmers and residents are facing, the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) and the Mahaica, Mahaicony, Abary-Agricultural Development Authority (MMA-ADA) have been informed but are unable to send any assistance as the weather does not permit the vehicles to be transported to the area.
