PRESIDENT Bharrat Jagdeo has authorised the release of $200M to urgently mend sections of fragile sea defences on the East and West Coast Demerara smashed by unprecedented severe waves that pounded the coast after midnight Sunday.
The Government Information Agency (GINA) yesterday said the repairs are under way on the breached points and vulnerable segments of the sea defence system.
While the destruction from the pounding waves appeared to have been most severe on the West Coast Demerara and on the East Coast to some extent, more reports came in yesterday of damage on the Essequibo coast and on the West Coast Berbice.
