Rambharat: Lack of planning division approvals problematic
Minister of Agriculture Clarence Rambharat.
MINISTER of Land, Agriculture and Fisheries Clarence Rambharat says an expert isn't needed to realise the dangers of constructing buildings without Town and Country Planning Division approval, namely those in St Augustine and Aranguez.
Rambharat spoke at the book launch for The Mangrove Forests of Trinidad and Tobago, hosted by the Institute of Marine Affairs (IMA), on Tuesday.
He said St Augustine South "has moved from dasheen bush to large warehouses over a period of time. That is the place where the Caura River comes down and eventually becomes the Macoya River as it comes through St Augustine South. Eventually it throws out into the Caroni River.
