Minister of National Security, Fitzgerald Hinds, is urging lifeguards to return to their posts, as he said they walked off the job.
He was responding to the recent notice issued by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts – which manages the facilities at the various beaches. The release stated there will be no lifeguards on duty until further notice at several major beaches in Trinidad.
Responding to a question in the Senate on Monday, Minister Hinds said a similar situation occurred in 2020, and there were consequences for the actions.
