Farming continuing on Timehri airport lands – Ministry warns

Several squatter farmers were advised to discontinue farming on the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri and state lands and failure to comply will see action taken to bring to an end this practice, according to a press release from the Ministry of Public Works today.

The warning was issued during a joint visit on Friday, April 25, 2014 when officials from the CJIA, Guyana Defence Force and the Guyana Police Force toured a section of the lands.

Prior to the ground tour, a flyover was done by CJIA officials to ascertain the extent of the illegal practice, the release said.
