Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) can­di­date for Ch­agua­nas West, Pas­tor Win­ston Ma­habir, is call­ing for ur­gent im­prove­ments to the cre­ma­tion site in Fe­lic­i­ty, say­ing its cur­rent state adds to the dis­tress of griev­ing fam­i­lies.

Dur­ing a walk­a­bout on Mon­day in the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) strong­hold, Ma­habir said the fa­cil­i­ty lacks ba­sic in­fra­struc­ture such as park­ing, seat­ing, and shel­ter, and does not serve the needs of the com­mu­ni­ty.

“Es­pe­cial­ly dur­ing the rainy sea­son, when peo­ple are mourn­ing the loss of loved ones, it’s heart­break­ing to watch the rain pour down on the pyre, with the fire strug­gling to stay lit,” he said. “That’s ad­di­tion­al stress no one should have to en­dure.”
