An inspection was today done by Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Nigel Dharamlall along with Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar at the Parika Market Complex where the debris from the fire-ravaged market has been cleaned out and works for the formation of its foundation have once again started.
No information has been provided by the government on whether a new contract will be issued for the market, the form it will take and whether the contractor who had been working on the market at the time of the blaze faces any legal attachment. The February 10th fire was caused by sparks from welders which ignited flammable material in one of the stalls. (Photo from Nigel Dharamlall’s Facebook page)
