“Acting on complaints from residents, my team rushed to the location to stick six-foot-long wooden sticks and tie red and white warning signs on both sides of the road along the flooded part to make it safer for the public,” he said.
He added that the team had poked dozens of sticks and tied about 40 metres of red and white ribbons, in the hope that people would be more careful when using the road.
