Min­is­ter of Works and In­fra­struc­ture Jear­lean John was on the ground at the Sea Lots wa­ter pumps yes­ter­day, as­sur­ing cit­i­zens that her min­istry is work­ing around the clock to keep Port-of-Spain dry and to strength­en the coun­try’s flood re­sponse.

She made the vis­it af­ter Port-of-Spain was brought to a stand­still sev­er­al days this week as tor­ren­tial rains trig­gered wide­spread flood­ing across the cap­i­tal and parts of west­ern Trinidad.
