With the discontinuation of the adverse weather alert on June 13, chairman of the Penal Debe Regional Corporation (PDRC) Gowtam Maharaj is optimistic, as floodwaters were receding and conditions improving.

“Today, the rivers were high, but we had a low tide around 11 am. The rain eased up a little bit. We are optimistic that we will make it through. We should be good if all parametres stay as is. That is our projection, ” Maharaj told Newsday.

“The streets are cleared, but there had been residential flooding yesterday.”
