Yesterday, in the wake of the torrential rains that hit the country, the Prime Minister visited several places on the island to make an assessment. He visited Vallée-Pitot, Fond du Sac, Cottage and Camp Thorel. It was from this village in the East that he spoke to journalists. Pravind Jugnauth said that he wanted to check with the inhabitants concerned whether the drains built in recent times have been effective. He expressed his satisfaction that this was the case in the places he visited. He added that other infrastructural works have already been started in the country.
According to Pravind Jugnauth, the purpose of these visits was also to ensure that the drainage works undertaken in these areas have been effective or not. “The recent heavy rains have caused quite a bit of damage: water accumulation in some areas and flooded rivers. The other members of my government and I have decided to go to the field to ensure that the infrastructure works and the development of drains in these areas have been effective or not during the torrential rains,” he said.
Also the Prime Minister reiterated the priority and willingness of his government to continue to undertake other infrastructure projects on the island to ensure the safety of citizens.
