Attorney Prakash Ramadhar said he will be writing to the Attorney General in a week to begin the judicial settlement process for his clients – the families of the men who died in the Paria diving tragedy – if the process is not initiated this week.

Speaking to media at his office in Curepe on May 12, he said he hoped the families could receive payment as soon as possible.

On February 25, 2022, Christopher Boodram together with co-workers Kazim Ali Jr, Fyzal Kurban, Yusuf Henry and Rishi Nagassar, were repairing a 30-inch pipeline at Paria’s Pointe-a-Pierre facility when they were sucked into it. Only Boodram survived.
