-residents unimpressed with efforts of EPA, Exxon
By Milton Grannum
A number of residents of Crane on the West Coast of Demerara have spent the past month grappling with an unexplained substance seeping through the tiles in their homes, creating uncertainty and fear.
Despite several visits from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) the mysterious substance remains unidentified. Frustrated residents say they are being kept in the dark about what is going on, and their lives have been thrown into chaos.
Both Basmatie Singh and Nandanie Singh, who live a stone’s throw away from each other, on Wednesday lamented their frustration with the authorities.
