Residents of Light Town on the East Bank of Berbice will soon benefit from a series of works to improve drainage and mitigate flooding in the area, according to a release yesterday from the Ministry of Agriculture.
This was disclosed by Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha on Saturday during a meeting with residents and farmers at the Light Town Primary School.
During the meeting, the release said that the residents told the Minister that the road drains were blocked and this had contributed to flooding in the area.
