Gov’t regrets loss of life

The government last night said it will do all that is possible to protect the people of Linden “from irresponsible and reckless” leadership while warning that mayhem cannot be tolerated and promising a full probe into yesterday’s protests in the mining town which left three persons dead.

“The Government of Guyana sincerely regrets the loss of life and injuries as events took an unfortunate turn for the worse this evening in Linden. The Government extends condolences and sympathies to the families of those who suffered injuries and loss of life,” the Donald Ramotar-led administration said
