Rusting continues in Fyzabad

THE EDITOR: This is an open letter to the Member of Parliament for the Fyzabad area, Mr Chandresh Sharma and the Commissioner of Police.

Dear Sir, this is a gentle reminder of the plight of the farmers, to whom a letter that was recently written by myself (and published by our newspaper) referred, concerning the cattle and sheep rustling in the PCOL and New City areas of Fyzbaad.

I wish to inform you and the rest of Trinidad that the young men involved are still distressing the farmers and even though adequate information was given, the Fyzabad police officers are not lifting a finger to help alleviate the problem. Is it that we are paying our police officers a salary to sit and talk on the phone all day and to issue tickets to unsuspecting motorists, while the criminals are allowed to roam freely?

Please Mr Commissioner, we have reached the stage where little old ladies returning from church are having their purses snatched in broad daylight and I, being elderly myself, wish to suggest that you get these officers at the Fyzabad Police Station off their buttocks and start doing what we pay them to do. This being to secure the interests of us, the law abiding citizens of this country!
