Responding to the call of President Irfaan Ali, sections of the private sector, along with the police, have actively engaged in awareness sessions to sensitize their staff and the public on the Guyana/Venezuela Border controversy.
The initiative aims to provide information and foster understanding among citizens regarding the ongoing geopolitical situation.
Chetram Brothers Inc. took the lead by organizing an Awareness Session on the company’s compound in Amelia’s Ward.
Director Amar Chetram emphasized the importance of such initiatives, stating that they were necessary.
He expressed optimism that these sessions would contribute to increased awareness and unity among people.
According to Chetram, the sessions are not only informative but also play a role in educating individuals about Guyana’s history and its development trajectory.
The sessions also featured the perspectives of individuals directly affected by the situation, including a Venezuelan who expressed hope that President Nicholas Maduro would adhere to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision and refrain from holding a referendum.
He conveyed his happiness to be in Guyana and his desire for peace.
Simultaneously, at the McKenzie Police Station, Commander Division Ten Supt. Guy Nurse highlighted the solidarity demonstrated by the police force.
He explained that the ranks gathered in the compound to symbolically form the map of Guyana, emphasizing their commitment to the national cause.
Commander Nurse stated that these awareness sessions are crucial in addressing concerns within society, and the police force intends to continue conducting them.
The collaborative efforts between the private sector and the police in organizing these awareness sessions reflect a unified approach to inform and reassure the public amid the Guyana/Venezuela Border controversy.
