It now appears that hassar from the infamous Tobago Hill, Northwest project escaped to freedom through “damaged water pathways” in the ponds.
This is the version that is now being related by Minister of Agriculture, Dr Leslie Ramsammy following a visit to Tobago Hill as part of his ministry’s outreach on behalf of the government’s National Secure Livelihoods Pro-gramme (NSLP).
In March of this year, Amerindian Affairs Minister Pauline Sukhai had declared that the Tobago Hill hassar rearing project was a success and had complimented the residents for their caring of fingerlings.
