THE civil society crime summit which was scheduled for next Tuesday has been postponed because of the state funeral service for former prime minister Basdeo Panday on the same day.
Panday, 90, died in the US on Monday.
His funeral service will be held next Tuesday at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) from 8.30 am.
The summit, which was organised by the People's Roundtable, was supposed to be held at the Valsayn Teachers' Collegs on the same day.
Roundtable convenor and Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) political leader David Abdulah announced the summit's postponement in a statement on Thursday.
"We take this opportunity, as a gathering of important civil society organisations, to thank Mr. Panday for his lifelong commitment of public service to Trinidad and Tobago and, in particular, to the ordinary men and women in our society."
Abdulah extended the roundtable's condolences to Panday's family and friends.
"It would also be totally inappropriate for a major public activity to be held at the same time as the state funeral."
He added that a new date for the summit will be announced in due course.
"We know that Mr. Panday would have keenly looked forward to our efforts to bring about unity of diverse sections of the society around issues of concern to the citizenry."
The roundtable comprises groups such as the Joint Trade Union Movement, Scrap Iron Dealers’ Association, the Farmers’ Union and the Network of NGOs for the Advancement of Women.
