Caroni East MP, Dr Rishad Seecheran, is calling on “the corporate community and other well-wishers to assist the distressed residents” as “further aid is being sought to undertake repairs to the affected houses”.

The Caroni East MP also notes that regional corporations serving the constituency were instrumental in providing critical disaster relief.

Dr Seecheran stated: “I would like to thank the Disaster Management Units of Tunapuna-Piarco Regional Corporation and Couva-Tabaquite-Talparo Regional Corporation, Chairman Henry Awong CTTRC, Mayor Faaiq Mohammed and Chaguanas Borough Corporation for their prompt and effective responses.”
