GCCI asks for ‘proactive’ efforts to quell any further instability

See below the full statement from the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI):

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has noted with deep concern the incidents that occurred within the last 24 hours. The Chamber is calling on citizens to allow peace and stability to prevail. Criminal elements have hijacked and preyed upon frustrations over recent incidents, and the acts of violence, looting and destruction witnessed on Monday and the wee hours of Tuesday morning only serve to create unrest and create divides among our people.  

The Chamber remains concerned about the continued perpetuation of violence in our society and public safety remains paramount. The GCCI is calling on authorities to enforce the implemented measures to temper unrest and be proactive in quelling any efforts aimed at furthering instability.
