Attorney Prakash Ramadhar has called on Prime Minister Stuart Young to honour his word and pay the $1 million promised to each of the families of the four deceased divers and the lone survivor of the Paria incident.

On April 3, during a post-Cabinet news conference, Young announced that Cabinet had decided Government would pay $1 million to each of the families of the divers who died in the Paria pipeline tragedy on February 25, 2022—Fyzal Kurban, Yusuf Henry, Kazim Ali Jr, and Rishi Nagassar—as well as to survivor Christopher Boodram.

Young stated that the payment was being made without admission of liability, as Paria and its insurers remain involved in litigation regarding the incident.
