India commits to recovery efforts in Dominica after Maria

Dey said India stands with Dominica after Maria

India’s High Commissioner to Dominica Bishwadip Dey has pledged his countries support as the island rebuilds in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

Speaking at the signing of an International Solar Alliance Framework Agreement between Dominica and India on Thursday, Dey said he respect and appreciate the resilience of the Dominican people after the hurricane.

“On the behalf of the Government of India and the people of India, I can assure you that we stand with you in your reconstruction efforts and to fight climate change and any other eventuality which will follow,” he said.

He stated that if any assistance is required, the Government of India will be there to help, “to the best of our ability.”

In September last year, Maria hit Dominica as a monstrous Category 5 hurricane causing widespread devastation and destruction.

The police have said that 31 people have been confirmed dead and 34 missing and presumed dead.

    I want to thank the Gov’t and people of India for your assistance to Dominica and its people in a time like now. But, I want to tell you that if you are giving any financial donations to us , Please , Please do not hand to Skerro, because you might as well dump it in the Indian Ocean. WE won’t see a penny of it.

        ” I will tell you if it is OK once you learn proper English”
        that my friend is your choice , you don’t have to voice an opinion if you choose not to.
        I will though, question what you consider ” proper ENGLISH” . you my friend are more than welcome to live at Balmoral, to try to speak like the Queen of England .
        I , unlike you , choose to use colloquial expressions whenever i so wish .
        I will speak, write, using de local lingo if i so wish to .
        Now if you have a problem with dat, go Henglan and come back dong with your nose in de air , dow tell me ”OK” because i will fink you mean somefing else .
