THE San Fernando City Corporation has approved the naming of a stand after the founders of Kalicharan Mas. The announcement came during a statutory meeting of the city corporation on May 28.

Speaking at the meeting, Mayor Robert Parris said the idea was floated earlier this year, before the band's co-founder, Wendy Kalicharan died on May 8.

"Their participation and their flair for culture is what we are known for in San Fernando in terms of Carnival. I made the statement at her funeral that there would be no San Fernando Carnival if it weren't for the Kalicharans."
