Residents of Brasso Seco have been promised they will be given continuous relief until normalcy returns in the wake of recent flooding there.
This comes from Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan, who toured the area on Christmas Eve and brought some cheer to the children.
Heavy rainfall in early December brought the Brasso Seco community virtually to its knees. Subsequent flooding left a path of destruction and for two days the community was inaccessible to the rest of the country.
The disaster grabbed the attention of MP for Cumuto/Manzanilla Christine Newallo-Hosein, who carried a motion to the Parliament to talk about relief fro the community and environs.
However, on Saturday Sinanan assured residents that continued relief will be delivered to the affected areas.
During his visit, the minister assessed and examined ongoing works being carried out by the Ministry of Works and Transport.
Sinanan also told residents that “the Government’s duty is to bring services and relief to the citizens in this area and will stop at nothing to make sure that everything is back to normal.”
Also touring the area was Sinanan’s wife, Pamela, who distributed hampers and toys to residents and children.
