THE Essequibo Minibus and Hire Cars Association recently elected a new executive committee for 2014 and its chairman Mohamed Nazmul has already indicated that they will seek to resuscitate the defunct Road Safety Council in Region 2 early in  the new year.
The chairman who is a member of the National Road Safety Council said the committee will also address several issues, including speeding and overloading of minibuses and hire cars, as well as educating citizens on how to use the road safely.
Other members of the new executive are the Secretary Naithram, Assistant Secretary/Treasurer Hardat Sahadeo and Public Relations Officer/Organising Secretary James Chattergoon. The committee members are Mohamed Aleem, Chandarpaul Mipaul, Orin Venture, Doodnauth Singh and Mohamed K Rasheed.
According to reports, scores of minibus and hire car drivers attended a meeting in the Regional Boardroom at Anna Regina last Thursday and elected members to serve on the executive committee.
