Incident-free 50th anniversary celebrations

May 28, 2016 News

The National Flag Raising Ceremony and the Jubilee Float Parade organized as part of our 50th Anniversary Celebrations were generally incident free. This was according to the Ministry of Public Security yesterday.

The Ministry stated that it wished to commend the general public and the Guyana Police Force for their display of good citizenship.
“The Guyana Police Force supported by the Guyana Fire Service and the Health Services coordinated efforts to ensure general safety and security of the public.”
“While citizens were in celebratory mood our officers were working beyond the call of duty to deliver first class operational and security support to the major events over the last two days. These efforts included crowd control, traffic management, protection against possible terror threats and general public safety.
“The Ministry wishes to offer special commendation to the traffic ranks who executed a well put together plan to minimize inconveniences to the traveling public. It is heartening to note that we were able to celebrate our Golden Jubilee almost without incident.”
The Ministry commended the citizens of Guyana and thousands of visitors who they said conducted themselves in a manner that is praise-worthy.
“There are still a few events remaining on the official Jubilee Calendar of events. The Ministry calls upon the general public to continue to demonstrate good citizenship and the security forces to continue to demonstrate resolve and dedication.
“On a sad note, however, the Ministry wishes to offer condolences to the relatives of the late Roxanne Mitchell who died due to a vehicular accident while returning home from the flag raising ceremony. This loss of life is regretted.
“The Ministry takes this opportunity to call upon the traveling public to obey the rules of the road and take care and caution when traversing our roadways.”
