The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph today said that two of its employees were injured after major structural damage to its communication tower in Kwakwani, Region Ten.
GTT’s Chief Operations Officer Randall Hewitt said in a release, “Unfortunately, our communication tower in Kwakwani has suffered major structural damage. This has caused a disruption in communication services in the community.”
During the incident, two employees sustained injuries. “We are relieved to report that medical personnel have informed us that the injuries are not life-threatening,” said Hewitt. The injured were taken to Linden for further medical treatment.
With the tower down, communication with the Kwakwani area is presently unavailable. “Our technical team will assess the situation to determine the cause of the damage and to devise a plan for restoring services as soon as possible,” Hewitt explained.
“We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates on the status of tower restoration. Our paramount concern remains the well-being of our injured employees,” Hewitt assured.
