In todays Trinidad Guardian ‘Racing heart’ but Kublalsingh still on hunger strike Environmental activist Dr Wayne Kublalsingh yesterday expressed fear that his body would not be able to sustain itself until the return of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to T&T. Kublalsingh said he felt weak and dizzy on the eight day of his second hunger strike over the Debe to Mon Desir section of the $7.5 billion highway extension. The activist requested a meeting with Persad-Bissessar in New York earlier this week but did not receive any response from the Government. Persad-Bissessar is in New York attending the United Nation’s 69th General Assembly meeting in Manhattan. She is expected back home sometime next week. Kublalsingh said: “I feel pretty weak, I don’t know if I can go beyond the weekend. “I am getting some dizzy spells. Sometimes my heart starts racing. i get very dehydrated. That’s the situation with my body. I will see how it goes over the weekend,” Kublalsingh yesterday resumed his post outside the Office of the Prime Minister, St Clair, after spending the holiday resting, while other members of the Highway Re-Route Movement, led by Movement for Social Justice leader David Abdulah showed the media a new proposal for a highway route through the Mon Desir area. He reclined on a chair, an umbrella protecting him from the sun, while a woman cooled his skin with a wet cloth. He appeared weak and spoke slowly through chapped lips.
