Lusignan goes dark as lights are removed
Guyana Chronicle: SIX weeks after the bloody attack on five families at Track ‘A’ Lusignan, by marauding gunmen, killing eleven persons including five children and seriously wounding three others, the most feared area of that community at nights – the dark and dangerous ‘grass field’ remains a source of concern.
Following the attack, many families would literally abandon their homes at nights, seeking the comfort of the homes of friends and relatives. But the presence of a mobile lighting mechanism on loan to the community, and which served to illuminate the ‘pitch black’ field at nights, helped to restore a sense of security.
However, that facility was expected to be removed last evening, hence darkness and fear will likely envelop the areas once more, the residents lamented.
They are appealing to the authorities to come to their rescue and have permanent lights in the area.
