TPL warned by AG to desist from clearing Turkeyen land

Clearing of the land was being done last Tuesday

Toolsie Persaud Limited (TPL) was on Friday advised by Attorney General Anil Nandlall to desist from clearing the site of the former specialty hospital at Turkeyen or face the full force of the law.

In a letter to TPL following a news item in this newspaper on the works at the site, Nandlall reminded that the status quo ante had to be preserved in line with the ruling of the court.

“I wish to remind you that the said status quo was, the Government of Guyana being in possession of the said plots of land and had commenced the construction of an edifice to house a Specialty Hospital, thereon. That position still obtains and the Government, therefore, remains in possession thereof,” the letter sent to the company by the Attorney General’s Chambers and seen by Stabroek News states.
