Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill on Thursday engaged vendors of the Plaisance Railway Embankment reserve about their relocation for a four-lane road project.
The meeting came after Edghill’s ministry was upbraided by Vice-President Bharrat Jagdeo for issuing short notice to the vendors for relocation and not having had discussions with them.
Jagdeo made the statement at a meeting on Tuesday at the Plaisance Primary School amid scenes of unrest outside the building and concern among the vendors that structures they had occupied for decades were going to be removed without discussion of any alternative.
