It said the state government regrets all inconveniences the present flood situation must had caused road users and residents in general and appealed for calm, explaining that it had intensified efforts to ensure that the contracting firm handling the remaining parts of the storm water projects along Okpanam and DBS Roads completes work soonest.
The government reassured Deltans and residents in the state of its commitment to ensure that the menace of flooding was addressed head-on and bring lasting succor to the people.
