The National Works Agency (NWA) has ramped up its drain-cleaning activities ahead of the passage of Hurricane Beryl.

Minister of Works Robert Morgan, says in June, all constituencies received over 100 million dollars to clean drains in preparation for the hurricane season.

To this end, the NWA has deployed equipment and initiated clearance exercises across several key locations to ensure better hydraulic flow in the event of heavy rainfall.

Targeted areas include, the lower section of the Sandy Gully in St. Andrew as well as the North and South gullies in St. James.
