ARMY troops standing up to the immediate requirements rushed to the Hamilton Canal bay mouth at Dik Owita, Lunawa and started closing it to prevent sea water coming into land this afternoon.
This bay mouth had to be opened a few days ago due to flood levels enabling the waters to flow into the sea.
Since the flood level has now come down, the bay mouth had to be blocked to prevent sea water seeping in. Sodiers worked from Wednesday (26) afternoon to 1.00 am the following morning to complete the task.
