Contractors from the Drainage and Highways Divisions of the Ministry of Works were at Perseverance Road and Haleland Park, Maraval, yesterday to assist residents with cleaning up following floods which affected those communities on Saturday. The relief provided included washing and clearing debris off roadways in the area.

In the aftermath of torrential downpours across the country over the weekend, Works Minister Rohan Sinanan and Local Government, Minister Kazim Hosein, accompanied by a technical team from the Ministry of Works, visited Maraval, Santa Cruz and Maracas to do preliminary assessments and clean up.

Sinanan also visited Santa Cruz and Maracas where equipment was deployed to clear landslips and roadways to return affected areas to a state of normalcy. Maracas Road is now accessible to vehicular traffic as the ministry’s team worked overnight to remove rubble.

During the course of this week, ministry personnel will visit areas adversely affected by torrential rains to provide infrastructural relief.

Affected persons can visit the ministry’s website at www.mowt.gov.tt to report infrastructural issues and upload photographs and this information will be routed to the respective districts for action.
