Jumbo Jet Thorough-bred Racing Committee (JJTRC) held its horse racing competition and entertainment on August 14. Two persons, H N Nawbatt and M Abraham, penned letters to this newspaper complaining about the chaotic traffic situation that ensued on that day. The traffic build-up stretched from Weldaad to Rising Sun, West Coast Berbice, and lasted approximately five hours before a smooth flow of the traffic was resumed.
