A former captain with the Trans-port & Harbours Department (T&HD) in Berbice claims that despite being experienced and able, he was dismissed from duties last year for no apparent reason.
Mahashwar Sugrim, 63, of Glasgow, East Bank Berbice told Stabroek News in a recent interview that his dismissal letter came as a shock when he turned out to work one day.
Sugrim said after he retired at age 55, T&HD rehired him on a month-to-month contract, which was subsequently terminated. He said he had no idea what he had done to have the service terminated when others who were older than him and some who were inexperienced were still working as captains.
