Dharm Shala Berbice has a very pleasant and welcoming appearance

-

the Dharm Shala Head Office at 140 King Edward Street, Albouystow­n on the 6 January 2017 following a request by him to visit and make suggestion­s for improvemen­ts at the Dharm Shala. His only suggestion was that the Dharm Shala should be re-sited.

This was dismissed by Management as being ludicrous as the Dharm Shala was functionin­g very well. A “No” was the reply given by both the Managing-Head (Kella Ramsaroop) and Pamela Ramsaroop (Executive Member of the Governing Body of the Dharm Shala and Vice- Chairman). Persaud informed both persons that he was not going to take “No” for an answer. After some more conversati­on by Persaud it was confirmed that he was interested in the land of the Dharm Shala- he suggested his land at Palmyra-Canefield. We remembered that we were approached some years ago in a similar fashion by others.

Also we were informed that Persaud with a party of others visited and inspected the land some days prior.

Currently, extra toilets are being installed on the bottom flat of the Dharm Shala by a Guyanese resident in Canada who has suddenly appeared out of the wood-works, P Dhandhari. Dharm Shala Management had always intended to install toilets but accepted the offer as it would save expense for the Dharm Shala. Three contractor­s as well as visitors can testify as to the work done at the Dharm Shala over the years and improvemen­ts.

Photograph­s and the testimony of residents can testify as to the usefulness and importance of the Dharm Shala over its 79 years of existence (currently).

We are prepared to take this matter further if Nowrang Persaud persist with his untruths. Yours faithfully, Kella Ramsaroop (Managing - Head Dharm Shala) Pamela Ramsaroop (Executive Member of the Governing Body of the Dharm Shala and Vice – Chairman)
