On Thurs­day, res­i­dents of Bras­so Seco, Paria, in need of med­ical care, were tend­ed to un­der a tent in the road­way, just feet away from where a land­slide caused the road to col­lapse.

Ac­cord­ing to res­i­dents, the slip­page forced ve­hi­cles to turn back, leav­ing the rur­al com­mu­ni­ty ma­rooned.

Sec­re­tary of the Bras­so Seco Paria Vil­lage Coun­cil, He­len Ram­di­al, said Thurs­day is the on­ly day the Health Cen­tre opens. How­ev­er, res­i­dents were un­able to make it there be­cause of the con­di­tion of the main road­way.
