Independent Senator Dr Varma Deyalsingh said the 2022/2023 budget had the potential of further fuelling a mental health crisis in TT, following the covid19 pandemic. He appealed to government to increase the allocation to mental health in the allocation to the Health Ministry.

He said the Health Minister had understood that the pandemic had created a mental heath crisis and given additional clinics and greater access to medications and resources. He said the pre-pandemic cost of living crisis would be exacerbated by the budget measures.

Deyalsingh said crime had become an additional stress factor and suggested several strategies which could be used to combat this.

“A caring government would allow people to get firearms users licences and give them access to firearms with the relevant licenses and training, especially farmers and fisherfolk. They would give tax rebates on cameras, remove VAT on steel, get YTEPP students to put up burglar-proofing for those who could not afford it, give people access to pepper spray, and deploy army personnel to help municipal police.”

He said he had seen a public relations exercise where the National Security Minister destroyed guns and wondered why they had not been given to farmers and fisherfolk to protect themselves, or sold to other Caricom countries for their defence.

He said the ballistics should have been given to Interpol to see if they had been used to commit crimes elsewhere, and suggested the government ask the US Drug Enforcement Agency for training and assistance since the most recent US travel advisory had embarrassed us.

Deyalsingh called for increased surgeries for common problems such as prostate surgery, cataracts, hernias, etc. He said there needed to be more social workers and mental health counsellors available to reach out to people on the verge of starvation.

He said as TT is an ageing population, and the National Housing Authority should address this by designating areas where elderly people can pay to live or their relatives can pay for them.

“Right now people are looking for hole-in-the-wall places to put their parents and grandparents. They’re always calling me to ask for advice, where can I put mummy and daddy. These places could have pool therapy, mental stimulation etc. The elderly will soon be 30 per cent of the population, an excellent voting bloc if you think of these things.”

He also suggested some retirees could be hired as translators for clinics and to train younger people in various fields.

Deyalsingh said an effort must be made at having public-sector workers work from home where applicable or have staggered working hours, as this would help against wasting fuel, pollution, and traffic. He said traffic is a major problem as medical journals said it increases the risk of diabetes and stroke, and the treatment of these is a major cost to the country.

THE EDITOR: If Hamas downs its weapons, there will be peace. If Israel downs itsweapons, there will be no Israel.

Good on the Israel ambassador for slamming Caricom’s statement equating Hamas’s unprovoked attack with Israel's military response in its own defence.

This isn’t about freedom or land, this is about the hatred of Jews.

Hamas is using the residents of the Gaza Strip as its shields in their heinous acts in order to carry out its religious agenda. Peace my foot, this is war!

Gaza residents ought to evacuate south. Israel must move to cut the head off the snake. Hamas are terrorists and there must be no negotiation with terrorists.

Speaking of peace, you know who actually did something to achieve peace? Donald Trump.

If Trump was still POTUS, this would have never happened. Six billion dollars would’ve never been transferred to Iran – the state that is funding Hamas and its arsenal.

They were never going to use it for humanitarian aid. Biden gave into the ransom, a sign of his weak leadership, taking bait in the form of humanitarian aid to Palestine and Gaza.

Not to mention policies by the Biden administration to relax sanctions on Iranian oil revenue and trying to revive a deal over Tehran’s nuclear programme during Obama’s reign, which Trump scrapped.

But no, Biden’s priority is solar panels, diversity and MAGA Republicans.

Peace through strength, don’t mess with US(A), we won’t mess with you. The world needs Trump's policies to prevent World War III.

Israel, do not be afraid, battle is inevitable, strategy is essential for victory in war. Israel must fight to preserve its nationhood and protect its people. It must fight to rescue its captured citizens and eradicate terrorist groups in the Middle East once and for all.

ATTORNEY General Reginald Armour vowed to bring a bill this parliamentary year to change the retirement age from the current 60 to 65 years old, he said in the Senate budget debate on Friday.

While the Government's official website still displays an undated article quoting Finance Minister Colm Imbert as having denied any plans to raise the retirement age, in his budget speech he had hinted at a rise by saying a higher retirement age already existed in Jamaica and Barbados. Repeated auditor's reports for the National Insurance Board (NIB) had spoken of a shrinking pool of contributors alongside more claimants.

Armour also promised an amendment to the Firearms Bill to let prison officers carry guns off-duty. Also lined up is a bill to address the repatriation of the wives and children of men who had left TT to fight for ISIS in the Middle East.

Armour also promised a bill to expunge the criminal records of minor offenders who have successfully undergone a rehabilitation process, so they don't have to carry such a stigma for their lifetime. Parole and probation will also be addressed, he said.

New laws, the AG said, will also facilitate police sting operations and amend wire-tapping legislation, the Interception of Communications Act. However a new bill, already on the order paper, will allow the polygraph testing, drug testing and biometric testing of members of the protective services.

Navratri will be celebrated from October 15-23. A vibrant Hindu festival, Navratri is a time when devotees come together to celebrate the divine feminine energy embodied by Mother Durga. The word "Navratri" translates to "nine nights," corresponding to the lunar calendar’s nine auspicious nights when devotees fervently worship and honour the goddess.

According to pundit Navin Omadath Maharaj, spiritual leader of the Munroe Road Shiv Mandir, “During this spiritually charged period, the changing seasons render individuals vulnerable to various ailments. Fasting and prayer, integral aspects of Navratri, are believed to purify the body, mind, and spirit, fortifying devotees to confront life's challenges with renewed strength and clarity.”

The pundit further explained that central to Navratri is the veneration of Mother Durga, regarded as the protective mother of the universe. “She is the guardian against malevolent forces, bestowing eternal peace and contentment upon her devotees. Navratri holds a special place in the hearts of worshippers as it marks the celebration of her first manifestation. According to Hindu mythology, Mother Durga emerged as the divine creation of Lords Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, with the sole purpose of safeguarding the universe from the clutches of Mahishasur, an evil and arrogant demon who mistakenly believed that no 'mere woman' could challenge him.”

The victory of Mother Durga over this malevolent demon is celebrated fervently throughout Navratri. Devotees engage in spiritual discourses (

Pravachan), sing devotional songs, and participate in the lively

garba dance, symbolising the epic nine-day battle between the goddess and the demon.

Maharaj said, “During this sacred celebration, offerings are made to honour Mother Durga, including arahu flowers, sindoor (vermillion), neem leaves (signifying the goddess’ preference), lapsi, sohari (a special sweet dish made in her honour), and the sacred Durga

dhar offering.

“As per the Devi Mahatyam (Hindu philosophical text), it is recommended that devotees observing worship during this period prepare this sacred blend of nine ingredients every morning and offer it in a

lota (vessel) with water, arahu flowers, and neem leaves. This ritual is accompanied by the lighting of camphor, with devotees wholeheartedly focusing on Mother Durga in prayer, fortified by unwavering faith.”

In situations where one cannot fast and pray for the entire Navratri period, worship is done on the eighth lunar day, known as Durga Ashtami, This day grants devotees all the merits and blessings of the entire festival. Furthermore, a special form of worship is observed on this day, during which nine young girls aged two-ten years are invited and honoured, symbolising the nine distinct forms of the g
