Talks between the government and the Region Ten delegation concluded tonight after agreements were reached on all outstanding issues regarding Linden.
APNU chairman Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine who is one of the negotiators told Stabroek News that he is relieved that everything has been settled pointing out that consensus could have been reached days ago.
He said that the next step is to share all the agreements that have been reached with the people of Linden.
Last week, the terms of reference for the technical committee to review the mining town’s electricity situation were agreed upon. Today the economic package along with the issues of the land selection committee and the return of more television stations were addressed and settled.
The two sides entered into talks following unrest in Linden over an increase in electricity tariffs which left three dead and dozens more injured.
The government and APNU are still to settle the terms of the Commission of Inquiry into the deaths of the three men.
