As the financial year closed yesterday, chairman of the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation (PDRC) Gowtam Maharaj admitted that no roadworks were carried out over the past year, blaming funding policies under the former administration. “In our development projects, we had flood mitigation works completed, such as box drains, box culverts, and crossings, and we expected to pay for those services. “For the next fiscal year, which is the current financial year, no projects were able to be done. Maharaj identified several roads in poor condition, including Digity Line Road, Lalbeharry Trace, Solomon Knox Road, Railway Road, Dumfries Road, and Barrackpore Trace. Looking ahead to the 2026 budget, Maharaj said he remained hopeful.
