One day after seven houses were demolished by the Ministry of Housing and Water at the Mocha squatting area, some families are now counting their losses.
Stabroek News visited the area and observed the scene where damaged beds, kitchen utensils and other household items were scattered at the area. The household items could not be retrieved because of the damage they sustained.
Anita Beaton, one of the squatters who was arrested on Thursday was released from police custody and is counting her losses since she wasn’t given the opportunity to remove any items from her wholesale shop. Beverages and other items from the shop were destroyed while livestock could be seen wandering the area.
