Last update: an hour agoEKAA Quarry Fallout: Guyana’s labour crisis is back in the spotlight after the Ministry of Labour launched an investigation into alleged forced labour, unsafe conditions, passport seizures and wage abuse at the Batavia, Region Seven quarry—while workers also raised the death of an Indian national, and management says it was a heart attack. Courtroom Closure: On the Corentyne road, a fatal-driving charge against a 61-year-old driver was discontinued after the victim’s family chose not to proceed, with no compensation settlement. Heart Disease Warning: Doctors at GPHC’s Cardiac Symposium say heart deaths are still above 2,000 a year, but the worrying shift is younger patients showing hypertension, obesity, diabetes and early coronary disease. Road Safety Update: Police report a separate fatal crash on the East Coast Demerara road, with the driver in custody assisting investigations. Governance Pressure: International partners are urging Guyana to reconvene Parliament after nearly 100 days of legislative inactivity.
