Survey of disputed Batavia land complete; parties still to hear of outcome

The dispute over land between the Batavia Village Council and a Bartica miner is yet to be formally resolved, even though surveying of the land has been long completed.

Toshao Orren Williams yesterday explained that the Village Council has not had any further communication with either the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), or Rickey Ramnarine, the miner.

 He noted that the survey of the disputed land, which was agreed upon by both parties, was completed almost a month ago and demarcations were made, which were deemed acceptable by the Village Council.
