CKRAM Ramdhanny, 31, of 92 Alliance was up to late last evening in a critical condition at the West Demerara Regional Hospital undergoing surgery after he was shot to the head yesterday by his uncle John Bahdur. Ramdhanny, a licensed firearm holder was shot following several months of dispute over the use of a road in the Kamuni Backdam, West Bank Demerara.Speaking with the Chronicle at the hospital last evening, Komal Ramdhanny, father of the injured man, said that he and his son were in the backdam working on a stretch of road which they usually use to gain access to their logging concession. The man said that his brother showed up with a gun and told him that he came for him, prompting Komal to sprint to safety. As the man ran, his brother decided to shoot Vickram in the head and then he fled the scene.
Komal picked up his son and placed him a tractor and rushed him to the hospital.

Komal told this newspaper that he too is a licensed firearm holder, but his gun was on his tractor which was a short distance away when his brother showed up.
Meanwhile, Seeranie Ramdhanny, mother of injured man, explained that the feud between her family and the assailant has been going on for months and she made reports to the Guyana Forestry Commission and the Ministry of Natural Resources who are both looking into the matter.
The woman said that her brother-in-law, who also has a logging concession, has a road which leads to his property and she has a road leading to hers. But then he damaged the road to his concession, and has been bullying them into allowing him access to his concession through their road, something they did not willingly give into.
The Chronicle was told by Mrs. Ramdhanny that she and her family has been spending large sums to maintain the road to her concession while her brother has being paying little attention to the maintenance to the road which leads to his.
