Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the scores benefited from an interfaith service which preceded the day’s activity.
Mayor of Georgetown, His Worship Ubraj Narine told DPI that while there were numerous complaints raised by those attending the event, the majority of the issues were immediately addressed.

Another worry highlighted to the council is about rates and taxes… These people are seeing the development and the progress we are making and so they came today also to compliment us as well” Pandit Narine revealed.
