Road blocks continue in St Thomas
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The police are advising people to avoid all major thoroughfares in St Thomas as roadblocks have been mounted by protesting residents for yet another day.
Planned protests in several communities yesterday forced a number of schools, including St Thomas Technical, to suspend classes after residents used debris to block sections of several main roads, preventing the movement of vehicular traffic.
Police personnel from the Mobile Reserve are assisting the local police with the effort to have the roadways cleared as soon as possible.
