Treacherous farmland roads have caused recent fatalities

Dear Editor,

In recent days there have been two letters describing the traffic backup due to the horseracing event in Berbice. It was a worthwhile complaint for those inconvenienced. However, to juxtapose the difference between those who have the option to write letters and those who do not or can’t, I must write to make public another traffic horror that has occurred more than once and resulted in deaths.

In recent, separate incidents in impassable farm dams, two drivers of tractors that got stuck in deep mud while trying to reach their rice lands succumbed when their tractors flipped whilst attempting maneuvers to become unstuck. Are those deaths not sufficient for proper roads to farmlands to be constructed in light of the much-touted food security public relations events the government has recently sponsored?

Sincerely,

RK Singh
