In a show of patriotism, residents of Palmiste were using the Independence Day holiday, yesterday, to clean Palmiste Park, which has become overgrown since the suspension of CEPEP, URP, and Reforestation programmes.

Speaking to Guardian Media before the planned clean-up, president of the Palmiste Residents Action Group, Harry Ragoonanan, said ten volunteers have already stepped forward with brush cutters and a tractor.

The group has also pooled funds from their neighbours to clear the park themselves.
