Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – Residents of the peaceful communities of La Jalousie and Blankenburg on the West Coast of Demerara are calling out the Police and the Government for the relentless threat to our physical wellbeing.
One resident, Reyaz Khan had installed a hallow box system to his vehicle exhaust (Silver grey Toyota 212) and it is being used as a total weapon to terrorise the residents of the two communities without discrimination. His hollow box system can be heard for over four miles away when in full beast mode. He would deliberately rev his vehicle to earth-shattering decibels forcing nearby residents to seek cover and block their ears from exploding. This revving will continue for 20 to 30 minutes back and forth with total impunity. Three to four times weekly this individual will commit this heinous act especially in the dead of the night multiple times per night.
In the heat of his nightly act, one can hear small children screaming, alarms from vehicles going off, even though they park a quarter mile away, and domestic animals howling. Residents would be rudely awakened at all hours in the night, almost with a heart attack to deafening sounds of this revving. Many parents are robbed of their nightly rest, children who were up studying late cannot get their little sleep and the elderly, fearing for their physical safety in the form of heart attack.
Reports were made to the police at Den Amstel Station by many citizens of this evil act only to be ignored. I also urge other residents to report this act of terrorism to other media houses so that our communities can return to some form of normalcy. If any Government personnel reads this, we urge you to take this matter up urgently, as other residents are contemplating taking matters into their own hands to protect their own safety and that of family members.
Regards
Sharmilla Mohan
