Vendors of the New Amsterdam Market who are affected by the current high tides have estimated their losses to be in the millions of dollars. While this tallying was going on, the residents of Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, could be seen with a makeshift boat removing appliances from the lower flat of their homes.
Customers who wished to use the ATM at Republic Bank in New Amsterdam had to walk through the flooded water.
One business man Mr. Deno Laljit, of Lonsdale, East Bank Berbice, said that this is the third time his business is being affected by flood, and it’s the first one since the Government built a low cost sea defence system.
Mr. Laljit says even his kitchen garden is affected and will perish in the aftermath.
According to Mr. Laljit he made contact with the NDC and was visited by the Overseer Mr. Padaratt and the Chairman Mr. Ramkissoon who promised to report the matter to higher authorities.
