Caroni East MP Dr Rishad Seecheran says the communities of his constituency has, so far, been spared the devastating flooding seen in previous years.

In a statement via WhatsApp around 12 pm on June 12, Seecharan said it was result of “major coordinated flood mitigation efforts” launched when the UNC government was sworn in, and he and the team members of his constituency office were coordinating with relevant authorities to minimise the effects of the heavy rains in the constituency.

“In such areas as Chin Chin Road, Cunupia and El Carmen, homeowners, business people and farmers have not suffered the damage and dislocation that they experienced during prior rainy seasons.
