I use this opportunity to share my thoughts with your newspaper in reference to Mr. Kishore Das’ letter titled ‘We need the relevant authorities to help us out of this mess’ published on 22nd August, 2019
I foremost wish to sympathize with Mr. Das and the residents of Nandy Park and Continental Park, East Bank Demerara, concerning the unlawful grazing of cattle in those beautiful neighbourhoods.
Mr. Das spoke of the uncouth behaviour of the herd owner and I hereafter confirmed the same. In the past, I have had to deal with him on a similar occurrence and the Honourable Chief of Staff – Mr. Joe Singh – even took it further and had him arrested and charged. I do not know the outcome of the case, but what I do know is, this cow herder is violent, abusive and couldn’t care less about the aesthetics of the community.
Complaining to the local authority is a total waste of time. I guarantee you that hundreds of complaints and reports were lodged with that department.
Twenty years ago, I had another similar experience with a gentleman who worked at the said local authority office, and who was attending to his cows in his yard just behind my residence. The stench and the chemicals he used for sanitizing gave my entire family and the surrounding neighbours nausea and made us all sick.
Complaints and personal discussion were completely ignored. I contemplated to remove my residence to a different location. However, logic told me to seek legal advice. I met my friend, the former Chief Justice – Honourable Ian Chang. He advised me to take legal action against the cow owner. I then engaged my lawyer who filed the necessary papers in court. The matter was called before the Honorable Madam Justice Claudette La Bennett. The honourable judge then ordered the owner of the cows to remove same within two weeks. She was outraged and furious, because she had to deal with similar situations.
That was indeed a big relief for the entire community. Today, I am still living in the same house in Republic Park. I urge Mr. Das and his neighbours to do the same as I hope you will find relief soon.
Yours truly,
Mr. Nazar Mohamed
