One year after being open-ed to the general public, the Indian Immigration Monument, located at Palmyra Village, East Berbice, directly opposite the entrance to the Berbice River Bridge, has become a popular location for locals and visitors.
Last year, a grand ceremony was held at the monument site to mark Indian Arrival Day, observed on May 5. Stabroek News was told that in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no activity planned for the site this year.
However, the monument’s compound, which has several fountains, a playground, a visitor’s gallery and guard hut, has been weeded and cleaned.
