ATTORNEY Prakash Ramadhar said the government had missed his deadline to pay the $1 million it had promised for each of the five victims of the Paria diving tragedy.

In a video sent to media houses on April 15, Ramadhar said he sent a letter to Prime Minister Stuart Young a week ago but had only gotten a reply acknowledging receipt of his letter.

On April 8 at a press conference, Ramadhar called on the government to pay the $1 million promised to the divers' families and the lone survivor Christopher Boodram by April 14.
