105 hired as works start at Rose Hall Estate

After being closed for almost three years, the Rose Hall Estate yesterday began humming back to life with the hiring of 105 workers and operations are underway to restart some field operations.

Aaron Dukhia, the Manager of the Rose Hall Estate, yesterday disclosed that so far a total of 105 persons were employed while works are presently ongoing for mechanical tillage.

Some members of the media were yesterday taken on a tour of the estate’s workshop and the cultivation, where rehabilitation is presently ongoing. Stabroek News noticed workers cleaning punts, lighting old canes on fire and “sweeping canes” in preparation for mechanical tillage.
