10 years, 9 months ago - July 10, 2013

It was a scene of the most unusual, Thursday, July 4 at Grand Bois: local councillors held the village council meeting under a tent on the market place.

"We had no other recourse but to be resourceful to keep our village council meeting," says Vinay Roopun, vice president of the village of Grand-Bois. Especially a representative of the district council is present at this meeting and that it is important to advance the causes of the village to the district council. In fact, he explained that the Village Council of Grand Bois has no village hall. "There is a social center but our requests to hold our meetings are systematically rejected," says Ravindraparsad Seewoosagur district councillor for the village of Grand-Bois.

The fault lies with our members and our Parliamentary Private Secretaries, support counselors."We are ready to work with the government, but those who are supposed to put our grievances and fight for us to have the necessary facilities to play absent. And we do not even know when we have a village hall, "says Ravindraparsad Seewoosagur.
