Residents of Mahdia were up in arms yesterday in their most recent attempt
to call for better roads, potable water and the removal of the Regional Executive Officer (REO), Ronald Harsawack. The residents took to the streets of the mining town in full protest mode around 11:00 hours blocking the main access thoroughfare with burning tyres and large logs as they voiced their concerns.
According to residents, the main access road has been in a deplorable state for more than a year. Recent rainfall has also contributed to further deterioration they revealed yesterday. Their concern in relation to the access of potable water was created when excess water flowing through the pipelines caused it to break away recently leaving the entire area without the precious substance. The residents said too that they have been constantly taking their concerns to the Regional Executive Officer who has thus far done nothing noteworthy to address the situation.
It was against this background the residents said that they were forced to “take it to another level” in the hope that the relevant authorities would heed their cries and implement urgent remedial measures.
The protest action, which continued into the afternoon had attracted the attention of the police, thus officers were dispatched to clear the roadway. However the residents took their protest action to another section of the road for a while longer.
