Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo has criticised as “callous” a decision of the Ministry of Public Works which had sent notices to some 50 vendors on the Plaisance Railway Embankment ‘Line Top’ on the East Coast Demerara, instructing them to remove within seven days.
The notice informed that this was necessary to facilitate the construction of a planned four-lane highway.
However, both vendors and residents voiced their concerns on social media and in person at what they felt was short notice.
