After decades of waiting, former Caroni (1975) Ltd worker Julien Mahabir was yesterday among 250 recipients of residential leases distributed in Couva.
Mahabir, 80, worked for Caroni for 23 years, rising from labouring in the canefields of Preysal to a bookkeeping position at the Montserrat office, where he remained until the company closed in 2003.
Having outlived many of his co-workers, he said he was grateful that he was able to receive the land package.
