Georgetown : The recent spring tides and incessant rainfall has wreaked and continues to wreak havoc on the lives of many, especially residents living on the Coast and other low lying areas.
The main opposition PNC/R says, even though water has receded in some areas, residents are still suffering from the effects as many farmers continue to count their losses. The party remains apprehensive about the management of the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC), the continuing threats posed by breaches to the river defense dams and inadequate maintenance of drainage infrastructure. The Party, therefore, calls on the authorities to take expeditious action to have these matters addressed. 
According to the party, no response has come from Government so far on this issue as the administration continues to ignore the call by the PNC/R at the onset of the crisis for a professionally run Natural Disaster Task Force. If this was established, assessing damages and contemplating compensation would not take forever as currently persists.
