As of yesterday morning, fishermen were able to head out to the Corentyne River, after a section of the mud which was blocking the Number 43 Village channel was flushed out via the sluice in the village.
After the pump was unable to remove the blockage on Monday, Region Six Chairman David Armogan gave the go ahead to open the Number 43 sluice in order to clear at least part of the blockage so as to bring some relief to the Corentyne fishermen.
Stabroek News was told that yesterday morning three boats were able to cross, since part of the blockage had been removed.
