Prime Minister Gaston Browne was booed today as he addressed angry protesters in his constituency.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The protesters who partially blocked the roads earlier today are upset over plans to move them.<\/p>\n

They took to the streets today after some residents had their electricity cut, a move they view as an attempt to force their relocation.<\/p>

Government is in the process of acquiring land in the Booby Alley area for the construction of modern housing for residents.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, some residents are against the move which will see them temporarily relocated.<\/p>\n

Police officers were called in today to monitor the tense developments in the impoverished community.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Browne told his constituents that what the government is doing is for their benefit and that they should not oppose it.<\/p>\n

Last year he warned residents that if they don’t move voluntarily they will be forced.<\/p>
