Confronted by a rising economic toll and with no success over the past three weeks in resolving the Linden crisis, President Donald Ramotar last night appealed to Lindeners to halt their protest, saying that they are being led astray by “extremists” and the future of the community is being harmed.
“The organizers of the blockades are hurting Linden and causing deep suffering to interior communities in Regions 7, 8 and 9. The hurt is not just because of what (is) happening now but also its likely effects on the future of Linden. Jobs of Lindeners are being placed in jeopardy. The call centre in Linden could face closure soon. Bosai is also being hurt.
This can but only discourage that company from making the future investments that it had planned, investments that would have rebounded to the benefit of the people of Linden,” he said in
