No Old Year’s Night balls for cops, army this year

The Guyana Police Force yesterday confirmed that it would not be hosting its annual Old Year’s Night Ball this year, even as Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan said that he was unaware of any cancellation of the event.

Police Public Relations Officer Jairam Ramlakhan yesterday told Stabroek News that the ball has been cancelled. He said that no reason was given for the cancellation.

When Ramjattan was contacted, he said that he was unaware of the cancellation. “I don’t know anything about that…it is an annual event and will continue,” he said.
