As the rains beat down this week threat­en­ing land­slides and flash floods, Min­is­ter of Works and Trans­port Ro­han Sinanan says work on the Mandin­go land­slip may be­gin next week Mon­day.
The mas­sive land­slip in In­di­an Walk, Princes Town, de­vel­oped last Au­gust, de­stroy­ing the Ali fam­i­ly' home.

The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) says its of­fi­cers are do­ing all that they can to en­sure COVID-19-pos­i­tive pa­tients in home quar­an­tine re­main at home.

With more than 14,000 teach­ers em­ployed across all lev­els of the ed­u­ca­tion sys­tem in T&T, on­ly 2,500 of them have been rec­om­mend­ed to re­ceive the COVID-19 vac­cine.

Po­lice yes­ter­day stopped the sale of cooked food at a lo­ca­tion in­side the Food Gi­ant Su­per­mar­ket in Barataria.

T&T yes­ter­day record­ed its sec­ond dead­liest day since the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic be­gan, with six deaths in 24 hours. It was one short of Sep­tem­ber 11, 2020, when the coun­try record­ed sev­en deaths.

Op­po­si­tion leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar in­sists that Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley is man­ag­ing the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic, which is now threat­en­ing to over­run the par­al­lel pub­lic health care sys­tem, “by vaps.”

Some job loss­es and per­ma­nent clo­sures are in­evitable among small and medi­um busi­ness­es which will be un­able to ful­fil the Prime Min­is­ter’s call for the pri­vate sec­tor to “car­ry work­ers” un­til the end of the height­ened lock­down.

This coun­try’s lat­est COVID-19 wave has fea­tured in an in­ter­na­tion­al re­port plac­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go among In­dia and a hand­ful of de­vel­op­ing coun­tries be­ing hard- hit by the virus again.

The Sanatan Dhar­ma Ma­ha Sab­ha (SDMS) is ex­pect­ed to learn the fate of its law­suit against Cab­i­net over a re­cent move, to re­vamp the Gov­ern­ment's pol­i­cy for award­ing schol­ar­ships for ter­tiary ed­u­ca­tion, by Sep­tem­ber.

A me­chan­ic from Princes Town has been grant­ed $100,000 bail af­ter ap­pear­ing be­fore a Mag­is­trate charged with rob­bery with ag­gra­va­tion.

The re­tire­ment of the his­toric Crix tin in April was not an easy de­ci­sion for Bermudez Bis­cuit Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed to make. But ac­cord­ing to Mar­ket­ing Man­ag­er Ke­van Ma­haraj, it was nec­es­sary.
