RESTRUCTURING OF HIGHWAY LIGHTING NETWORKS BETWEEN LA GRANGE AND POUDEROYEN, WEST BANK DEMERARA, REGION No. 3
The Ministry of Public Infrastructure has received videos from residents on the West Bank of Demerara alluding to the removal of street lights within their village.
The Ministry wishes to inform the residents between La Grange and Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara, Region no. 3, that the Electrical Contractors are currently removing all metallic poles in close proximity to all of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) 13.8kV express feeder due to the risks this poses to the maintenance crews.
Additionally, the lights are being reinstalled by Skytec Enterprise International Inc., Thomas Electrical Construction and Manufacturing and JJ Electrical Contracting Service for a period of ten days, all things being equal, works are expected to conclude on the 22nd of July, 2020. According to the contracts, the contractors are required to re-establish highway lighting networks using GPL’s wooden lantern poles.
The Electrical Department therefore condemns all social media posts that seeks to defame the name of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure’s Electrical Department.
