Mashramani floats left on NA streets days after parade 

Three floats used during the Mashramani celebrations in New Amsterdam on Sunday have been left abandoned along public roadways in the town.
The floats, which were part of bands brought to the town for the Mashramani activities, were seen dumped along Main Street and Strand on Wednesday.
One of the structures was left along Main Street, partially occupying the roadway, while two others were dumped along Strand, including one positioned directly in front of the residence of the Regional Executive Officer (REO).

Residents and road users have expressed concern that the floats could pose a hazard to motorists, particularly at night, while others questioned why the structures had not yet been removed from the roadways days after the celebrations concluded.
Mashramani celebrations were held across several communities on Sunday as Guyana marked its Republic anniversary, with New Amsterdam hosting one of the regional activities, which included a street parade featuring floats, costumes, and bands.
Up to Thursday afternoon, the floats remained at the locations where they had been left by revellers.
