NDC, M&M clash over ‘illegal’ fencing
The Neighbourhood Democratic Council, (NDC) at Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, is accusing the proprietor of M&M Fast Food and Snackette of illegally constructing a fence on a plot of land located aback of its main office, in the vicinity of the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
As such, workers under instruction by the NDC have started removing the fence. When Kaieteur News arrived on the scene yesterday, the demolition was in process.

According to Oswald Quamina, a member of the NDC, the proprietor of the fast food enterprise was given a notice to move from the premises but he refused.
“Mr. Muhkram was called to meeting and shown a map that proved that he was on prohibited land but still continued building a fence on the land. He was given a notice but insisted on continuing his fence, trespassing on council’s land.”
Over the weekend, the fence was completely erected, on a stretch of 50 feet of prohibited land extending all the way to road.
The parties are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss the matter.
