Anchovy Gardens residents in Portland protest lack of flood assistance

PORTLAND, Jamaica — Information has reached OBSERVER ONLINE that several residents of the Anchovy Gardens community in Portland protested earlier today about the lack of assistance from the relevant authorities for those affected by the heavy flood rains currently lashing the parish.

The Anchovy Gardens residents blocked a section of the main road with debris while complaining bitterly that the flooding has affected them badly and no assistance has been forthcoming.

The police were able to clear the blocked road after speaking with the residents.
