Kublalsingh mulls court action to stop all work on highway (with CNC3 video)

Work be­ing car­ried out on sec­tions of the Debe to Mon De­sir High­way is oc­cu­py­ing the mind of en­vi­ron­men­tal­ist Dr Wayne Kublals­ingh and caus­ing him con­cern. Kublals­ingh be­gan his hunger strike on No­vem­ber 16 out­side the St Clair of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter. He end­ed it on Wednes­day af­ter ac­cept­ing the terms of ref­er­ence for a re­view of the works on the Debe to Mon De­sir sec­tion of the high­way.

In a tele­phone in­ter­view from the home of one of his sis­ters in San Fer­nan­do yes­ter­day, Kublals­ingh said the mat­ter had brought a cer­tain de­gree of dis­tress to him and he in­tend­ed to raise it with his lawyers. He said he al­so in­tend­ed to hold dis­cus­sions with mem­bers of the High­way Re-route Move­ment to de­ter­mine whether it was wise to file a court in­junc­tion to have all work com­plete­ly stopped.

He added: "I am think­ing a lot about what is go­ing on, the bull­doz­ing that is still tak­ing place and it is re­al­ly a bit dis­tress­ing. "I'll have to talk to my lawyers to see whether fil­ing an in­junc­tion was pos­si­ble and I have to al­so get opin­ions from re-route mem­bers. I need to hear their thoughts on the mat­ter then de­cide what course of ac­tion to take." His health, he said, con­tin­ued to im­prove and al­so his ap­petite. He has been eat­ing light soups and fruit.

"To­day my broth­er-in-law made me a glass of car­rot juice. I had a starch man­go-not a stale one-and a cup of dhal," he added. A?pho­to of Kublals­ingh cir­cu­lat­ed on Face­book on Thurs­day showed him break­ing his fast by eat­ing a man­go which he lat­er said had been in the fridge for months. "I'm com­ing along. I'm re­al­ly eat­ing light, main­ly a lot of soups," Kublals­ingh added.

Kublals­ingh makes more de­mands

He said he had had no vis­i­tors since his re­lease from St Clair Med­ical Cen­tre on Wednes­day. He said he was pass­ing the time by read­ing Aris­to­tle's Ethics, a work of clas­si­cal phi­los­o­phy. "It's about 500 pages and I'm re­al­ly en­joy­ing it. I have al­so been rest­ing a lot to re­gain my strength."
