Dear Editor,
According to the Guyana Chronicle of October 31, while Hindus were enjoying the Diwali celebration in keeping with tradition, thousands of people from Nabaclis, Paradise and Den Amstel invaded the Alexander Vishnu Mandir causing widespread damage, lighting firecrackers and squibs.
This gang of hooligans were consuming alcohol, smoking dope and destroying private property in the village. They lit squibs and firecrackers and threw them in the drains, resulting in muddy water being splashed on the houses. A letter was sent to an official seeking protection before the holiday came, but this fell on deaf ears.
The government, although numerically strong, has been unable to protect its people from this type of criminal behaviour when it depended upon the police force for the maintenance of law and order. This was the worst year ever when it comes to squibs and firecrackers all over the country. Ask the police at Anna Regina how many arrests have been made and infernal bombs seized. It was mentioned by a police source that a new ‘bomb,’ the ‘Thunder King’ had made its appearance in the country and it was very loud and dangerous. I was surprised by the behaviour and cruelty to both animals and humans by these hooligans.
I am calling on President Jagdeo to launch an investigation, as this thing is becoming unbearable in the country and giving his government a bad image.
Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Khan.

….. if the govt ,, can not see the dangers and the chaos that is possible to unfold with the uselessness and nuisance of this anathema ; then soon it will become
one more ,, thorn ,, they will have to deal with ,, to protect the citizens,,– a job so far ,, by the “house manager” generally seen as a square peg –,, the motive for crime in GY is not being addressed ,, and until such time as this is harnessed ,, it will continue to spiral out of control !,,,,,,,,
Rohee needs to go ,the govt should investigate why the police refused to act especially it was reported one of them was using foul language, seems like something more sinister at work here
……….the money must be washed somewhere ………some in the high office no…..this money bring the squib……and somebody close they eyes……when we start picking up a few eye balls and fingers ……peolple will stop…..
Yep, the police need to go after the source people who sell drugs and firecrackers. As for alcohol…who really profits from its sale?
Who will investigate? The very people who ignored prior appeal for protection? The authorities knew this would have happened, but they cared less. After all elections are a long time away.

This was orchestrated. It is a hate crime.And must be punished as such.
