Following reports that Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohammed has been granted four quarrying licences for development, BK International yesterday registered its objection saying that the areas granted overlap acre-age it has already applied for and prospected on.
However, sources close to the process explained that an application being processed does not mean that the applicant is guaranteed to be granted permission for the areas sought. Further, the source pointed out that the gazetted notice of intent for use of the area gives persons with a vested interest, like BK Quarries Inc, the very opportunity being used, to make a challenge or objection.
“BK Quarries Inc. is challenging the decision by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) over what appears to be a decision to grant four quarry licenses to Hadi’s World Inc. of Lot 29 Lombard Street, Georgetown. Hadi’s World Inc. is owned by local businessman Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohamed,” the company yesterday said in a statement.
