Task force to identify lands

The government said it would be moving to identify lands for relocating persons living in flood prone areas and who are constantly affected by disasters.



A task force set up by Prime Minister Bruce Golding is to start identifying persons who now occupy lands in disaster areas.



Addressing parliament yesterday, Mr. Golding said a no build boundary is to be established and that construction would not be allowed in these areas.



He said the task force would also assist with and enforce the relocation of persons.



The task force will be headed by transport and works minister Mike Henry and will include the National Works Agency, National Land Agency and the ministry of labour and social security.
