LOCAL Government and Rural Development Minister Khadijah Ameen has called on regional corporations to be “innovative and proactive” in securing funding for infrastructure and security projects, saying they should not rely solely on government subventions.

Ameen was speaking at the commissioning of the refurbished Tunapuna/Piarco Municipal Police Post and the launch of the corporation’s Building Trust Through Vigilance programme on November 20.

The initiative includes an expanded CCTV surveillance system and a new dedicated monitoring room under the ongoing Eagle Eye project.
