A slipped Koker door at Andrews Sluice in the Evergreen/Paradise Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) of Pomeroon-Supenaam (Region 2) has caused significant flooding.

Approximately 70 acres of rice land and 25 households have been reported to be inundated.

According to the Civil Defense Commission (CDC), the incident occurred as a result of heavy waves during the above normal high tide period on Thursday afternoon.

The Cabinet Taskforce on Flooding was subsequently informed.

β€œSo far, a temporary stop door is being installed and the original door removed, and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) is working towards installing a new steel door subsequently,” CDC reported.
