PNCR Leader Robert Corbin told Stabroek News that the party is  deeply saddened at his death. Corbin described Chandisingh as “a stalwart and committed Guyanese” who spent many years of his life seeking to promote not only national development but political unity.

“He had an amiable personality and was morally upright and was willing to give a helping hand. We have lost a patriot,” Corbin said.

Chandisingh retired from active politics many years ago. (More in tomorrow’s issue)
