Works have still not commenced on the sea defence located at Content, Mahai-cony which continues to deteriorate at a rapid pace. Residents in the area are continuing their plea for help before things get worse.
In a visit yesterday to the disintegrating sea defence during the afternoon high tide, Stabroek News observed the waters easily overtopping the weak defence which is in obvious need of urgent rehabilitation.
Speaking with residents of the area, Stabroek News understands that cries for help have been ringing out from members of the community, as they continue to lose crops and cattle because of flooding. “We done lost three crop of rice. This gon be the fourth crop of rice that we gon lose hay now. We fed up talk about it and we done see this thing gon go on and on, and then when it break away and the place start flood more, then we gon see people coming to try fix it,” one resident lamented.
