Legal row brews over repossession of core homes

Amid moves by the housing authority to repossess some homes allocated to low income earners under the Low Income Settlement Programme for breaching their agreement, former Attorney General Anil Nandlall has threatened legal action to halt the moves.

At a press conference yesterday, Nandlall announced that he would take legal action against the Central House and Planning Authority (CHPA). Five persons namely Zabeeda Bacchus, Kuntie Tekchand, Ravina Balram, Etwaree Bahadur and Nirmala Ganesh appeared with Nandlall and it was related that their homes were being repossessed.

The women reside in villages such as Belle West and Parfaite Harmonie on the West Demerara and Nonpareil,
