Homeless man blamed for floods across North Trinidad

Traffic heading east on the Churchill Roosevelt Highway was brought to a standstill on Tuesday morning after the highway and main road in Pasea became flooded.
It's the second time in two weeks that these areas were hit by flooding, blocking commuters.
While officials look for a solution, Pasea residents are placing the blame on a man who now calls the drain his home.
Kalain Hosein has the story.

If all yuh saying that a homeless man is who causing the flooding because he throws garbage in the river how come you guy's din't report it to the police or the corporation why wait until the rain fall and cause flooding this should have been dealt with from the beginning when you guy's knows that it would have cause problems

[@sipvypkbj103]

Right

[@reynoldgibbings4592]

So much homeless in this area po-lice is leave them alone so why make report.

[@samuelbugros1887]

Because they need help why you don't give them somewhere to stay then they will not be a menace to society not because they homeless that means that they must make others uncomfortable by throwing garbage in the drains or river and cause persons to lose their appliances and other stuff when they house flood

[@geetamohammed]

Totally agree with you 💯

So you knew that for a few months now and it’s only when the rain starts you talking about it. Typical

Such a small amount of water is not a flood. Ask my Good friend, Noah, what a flood is.

[@adonaimaranatha]

It said that he was cleaning by removing garbage and throwing it away but apparently he picked the wrong spot. I’m sure it wasn’t his intention to cause flooding

[@sipvypkbj103]

Not..his fault
Ppl here. Just nasty

Why shut your nasty mouth.You have no shame and respect.

[@Stacitt]

If we would be mindful of our actions all of this could be alleviated. Too often we are seen mindlessly disposing of large pieces of garbage when we know the likely outcome.

[@user-id2ix6cb3d]

At Marabella one was piling up bags of rubbish near South Park on the Bye Pass but WASA did some work there recently and they got rid of it Its amazing that no one in authority noticed that for months.😢😢
