A high tide damaged a section of a koker door at Number 52 Village, Coren-tyne yesterday afternoon, leaving residents in the community and its envi-rons at risk of devastating flood damage.
Region Six Chairman David Armogan yesterday said that if the issue was not remedied by the end of today, it will result in a lot of flooding and other issues for farmers and residents. “…The salt water is going to get into the cultivation system and that’s going to spell trouble for rice farmers and other cash crop farmers,” he explained during a visit to the koker.
He added that the entire Number 52 to Number 74 area along with other communities can likely be flooded if the water is not stopped from entering.
