MINISTER of Local Government Khadijah Ameen said the government wants to support the denotion of new “gated communities” in response to public demand.

To this end, the government was creating an inter-ministerial committee to provide a policy and guidelines on gated communities, she told the post-cabinet briefing at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, on August 28.

The measure will be in line with the government’s stand-your-ground legislation – now out for public consumption – and its policy on home invasions.
