Residents warned against unapproved repair works
Trinidad and Tobago
THE Ministry of Works and Transport yesterday asked Woodland residents to refrain from undertaking unsanctioned repair works in the area.
On Sunday, residents affected by recent flooding in Woodland took it upon themselves to fix a breach in the bank of the South Oropouche River.
The ministry said it empathises with the flood victims and understands the frustration and anxiety of residents, but members of the community are strongly advised to refrain from engaging in any unsanctioned repair works as an unapproved plan is likely to cause accelerated deterioration and can increase flooding in the area.
