Res­i­dents are again plead­ing with Works and Trans­port Min­is­ter Ro­han Sinanan to ur­gent­ly re­pair a land­slip at Roberts Vil­lage, Table­land which is dam­ag­ing their prop­er­ty.

Ad­di­tion­al­ly, the res­i­dents said they have been al­so been grap­pling with a dust prob­lem.

Last week the Pub­lic Trasport Ser­vice Cor­po­ra­tion sus­pend­ed its Ma­yaro/Guayagua­yare bus ser­vice due to the bad con­di­tion of the Na­pari­ma Ma­yaro Road caused by the land­slip.

With­in days the Min­istry of Works con­duct­ed emer­gency road works which saw the re­sump­tion of the bus ser­vice.

The min­istry lat­er had stat­ed that per­ma­nent slope sta­bi­liza­tion work and restora­tion would com­mence some­time this month. How­ev­er, res­i­dents said based on pre­vi­ous ex­pe­ri­ences they were not con­fi­dent that prop­er work would be done.

Res­i­dent Ani­ta Bhag­wans­ingh who runs a road­side veg­etable and fruit stall ap­pealed, “We are kind­ly call­ing on the Min­is­ter of Works, Mr Ro­han Sinanan can you please come and give us a fix on this road. It is a ma­jor road. It is very dan­ger­ous and harm­ful to dri­vers and peo­ple in the en­vi­ron­ment. Al­so, the dust is af­fect­ing all neigh­bours right around. We have a lit­tle stall there and peo­ple are not stop­ping due to the dust.”

Bahg­wans­ingh was forced to move out of her home af­ter it was bad­ly dam­aged last year. She re­paired it and moved back in, but her house is now sink­ing.

“The land is pulling, it keep pulling, it start­ed from the back where our house is lo­cat­ed, the place is re­al cracked up. This is hap­pen­ing two years now.”

An­oth­er res­i­dent Hains­ley Ro­get who runs a busi­ness at his home said the ma­te­ri­als from the “hur­ry work” done by the min­istry on Old Year’s Day have washed away due to the heavy rain­fall.

He said, “The work that they had done on Ole Years Day it come like they did not do any­thing be­cause the whole thing cav­ing away again. We back where we were be­fore.”

He said res­i­dents are fed up of be­ing ne­glect­ed and are plan­ning to protest.

Ef­forts to con­tact the Min­istry of Works were un­suc­cess­ful.
