The Prime Minister stressed that before effecting the repairs, D.A.Y Marine and Services Ltd had already carried out an exploratory dive at the site in February 2020.<br \/>\nMr Jugnauth indicated that with a view to carrying out permanent repair works at the La Marie Intake Tower of Mare aux Vacoas Reservoir, the Water Resources Unit of the Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities enlisted the services of D.A.Y Marine Services Ltd to undertake a survey of the external surface of the Tower on 18 May 2021.<br \/>\nHe further underlined that prior to undertaking any diving operations, officers of the WRU accompanied Mr G.F.W and Mr B.J.C of D.A.Y Marine Services Ltd inside the La Marie Intake Tower of Mare aux Vacoas Reservoir to take stock of the condition of the structure.<br \/>\nOn the same day, after having taken stock of the conditions of the structure of the Tower, Mr G.F.W dived in, along with Mr B.J.C to conduct the survey, and was later reported by the latter of having difficulties under water.<br \/>\nOfficers of the WRU immediately called the SAMU, Fire and Rescue Services, Police and National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Centre and the Police in turn called the Groupe Intervention de la Police Mauricienne (GIPM).<br \/>\nThe Prime Minister pointed that that Officers of the Fire and Rescue Services reached on site at around 09.55 hrs to carry out rescue operation.<br \/>\nThe Swift Water Rescue Team of the Fire and Rescue Services brought Mr G.F.W on land and the latter was handed over to SAMU, which was already on site, which shortly afterwards certified that he had passed away.<br \/>\nThe Police Medical Officer attributed the cause of death as being \u2018Asphyxia due to drowning\u2019, informed the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
