Christmas came early for the residents of Rokosalasei in the interior of Macuata following the opening of their vehicular crossing yesterday.

While officiating at the event, Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Rural and Maritime Development Mahendra Reddy says the project is part of Government’s initiative to evenly develop Fijian communities throughout the country.

He says the crossing is not simply a link between one side of the creek to the other, but a connection between the community and the rest of the country.
