Minister Indar discloses that Gov’t has major plans for Albouystown

Junior Public Works Minister, Deodat Indar, has informed residents of Albouystown that President Irfaan Ali will soon announce major developmental plans for their community.

Indar made the announcement during a meeting in the community that he had on Saturday after residents raised a number of issues affecting the community. “There is something significant planned for this area that the President himself will announce … I will defer that to the President, but you do not worry about works and so, that will come here, do not worry about it,” Indar revealed.

The minister said that some of the issues raised included the need for better roads, a safe space for children to utilise, and street lights for better security. As such, Indar further disclosed that he, along with Culture, Youth and Sport Minister, Charles Ramson will soon be having an outreach in community. “His Excellency, President Dr. Irfaan Ali asked myself and Minister Charles Ramson to come to this community to do a full outreach. This is not a full outreach. I just came to give some kites and some of the elder folks some hampers for the Easter weekend. I am coming back with Minister Ramson to do a full outreach to deal with all of these matters systematically,” the minister explained.

Minister Indar also committed to installing street lights in the community, but warned residents to keep an eye out for persons who would want to vandalise them. A commitment was also made by Indar to donate sports gear to the ‘Pace and Power’ boxing gym in the community which has 25 members. The minister following the meeting, distributed a number of food hampers to the elderly, and kites to the children for the Easter holiday.
