DUST DISTRESS

Excessive dust from an on-going landslip repair project has been severely affecting residents of Tableland for the past six months.

They claim the contractor has failed to listen to their many calls to wet the construction site, and are now publicly pleading with the Minister of Works to intervene on their behalf.

The residents tell our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh, shovels of dust are removed from their homes daily and the health of babies, children and the elderly are continuously at risk.
