Efforts are underway to procure new equipment for Radio Mabaruma after a recent electrical surge damaged some equipment.
This is according to Region One Chairman Brentnol Ashley, who, in a telephone interview with Stabroek News, explained that he was informed of damage done to a dish at the radio station just a few days ago during a meeting.
While he could not give specific details of the extent of the damage, Ashley said there had been an incident where there was fluctuation in the supply of electricity to the station, which resulted in damage to some of the equipment.
