He went around to the community and tried to solicit signatures against the proposal. He was widely rejected. Subsequently, about three of them tried to organise a meeting at which they said Ravi Dev would be present to speak to the community on how government was robbing the community of their land. From all indications, the community welcomes the construction of a health centre and the turnout was a signal of the desire to have such a facility in place for the residents. At present, residents have to travel to Buxton health centre which is problematic.
Many persons refuse to go there after the post elections violence had put fear in our minds.
Many of use find ourselves inconvenienced by having to travel to Georgetown for health treatment and the money is not always there in addition to the distance. I think I speak for the community when I say a health centre is one of our priority needs and the government must be congratulated for taking such an initiative.
