The interior Regions have also been affected by what is taking place in Linden.”Noting that Bosai Company employs more than 500 persons, he said that it has been closed for the last few days and the company has indicated that it is reconsidering further expansion of its business.“I have been in discussion with Mr. Walker of the Toucan Connections, the call centre in Linden which employs almost 150 persons, and which also has been likewise affected, and which could lose overseas contracts if this situation continues.”President Ramotar observed that the domestic business sector in Linden is also being affected since many workers are afraid to come to work and prefer to stay in the safety of their homes.“In my discussion with the Regional Chairman, Mr. Sharma Solomon I have stressed that Linden will suffer a great setback if these developments are not brought to an end soon. I also wish to emphasise that the Linden community is being, and has been terribly and deliberately misinformed by some extremists and well known political activists with regard to the recently introduced tariff increases,” he stressed.
