Some 24 miles of road from Rukumutu to Yurongperu, South Pakaraimas in Region Nine, will be upgraded to the tune of $5 million.
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) press release, this assurance was given by Regional Executive Officer (REO), Cark Parker during a community meeting Friday last, in response to the residents’ requests for urgent repairs to the trail.
During the meeting, Toshao Shevnarine Cyprian said that the state of the road makes transportation difficult for the residents. Currently, it takes approximately four hours to get to the sub-District, Karasabai and the costs of goods and services have increased significantly.
