CHRISTOPHER Boodram, the lone survivor of the Paria diving tragedy, has called on the population to vote against Energy Minister Stuart Young and the PNM in this year's general election.
He made the call at a rally outside of Heritage Petroleum's administrative building in Pointe-a-Pierre on February 22, in commemoration of the third anniversary of the incident.
On February 25, 2022, Boodram, together with co-workers Rishi Nagassar, Fyzal Kurban, Yusuf Henry and Kazim Ali Jnr, were repairing a 30-inch pipeline at Paria’s Pointe-a-Pierre facility when they were sucked into it.
