Rambharat: Lack of T&C approvals problematic


Rambharat: Lack of planning division approvals problematic
Minister of Agriculture Clarence Rambharat.
MINISTER of Land, Agriculture and Fisheries Clarence Rambharat says an expert isn t needed to realise the dangers of constructing buildings without Town and Country Planning Division approval, namely those in St Augustine and Aranguez.
Rambharat spoke at the book launch for The Mangrove Forests of Trinidad and Tobago, hosted by the Institute of Marine Affairs (IMA), on Tuesday.
He said St Augustine South has moved from dasheen bush to large warehouses over a period of time. That is the place where the Caura River comes down and eventually becomes the Macoya River as it comes through St Augustine South. Eventually it throws out into the Caroni River.

T&T’s silent holocaust: From Ceiba to Chaconia how CEPEP follows ‘Sir’ Woodford’s racist footsteps
In honour of our fifty-eighth Independence anniversary, I visited Woodford Square, aka
The People’s University, where seeds of Trinidad and Tobago’s Independence grew. But instead of feeling pride, I felt shame.
Twenty tree stumps, envoys of once stately trees, left to rot without  love or dignity illuminated Marcus Garvey’s words:
a people without knowledge of their past… is like a tree without roots’.
