Vandalism Hits Cilia Regal Garden: Authorities Respond
Apr 5 2024 Share

Cilia Regal Garden, an idyllic haven nestled behind the local church, has been marred by vandalism, echoing the recent desecration of ficus trees in the nearby square. The swift response of Mayor Architect Chris Grech has mobilized authorities and the Environment & Resources Authority (ERA) to launch a thorough investigation into the disturbing incidents.

As surveillance footage undergoes careful scrutiny, the community grapples with the distressing sight of eucalyptus trees, once vibrant symbols of natural beauty, now standing dead and withered. Concerns mount over the potential ecological ramifications of this senseless destruction, prompting urgent action from local authorities.

In a show of solidarity, the Council strongly denounces these acts of vandalism, hinting at possible ulterior motives aimed at undermining community cohesion and the diligent efforts of dedicated councillors. Despite the valiant efforts of ERA to salvage the affected trees, the toll of the vandalism remains palpable, casting a shadow over the once-thriving greenery of Cilia Regal Garden.

Amidst the turmoil, intervention treatments have commenced for the ficus trees in the square, signaling a beacon of hope for restoration and renewal. As the community unites against such wanton acts of destruction, there is a shared resolve to stand firm in defense of cherished communal spaces and to seek justice for Cilia Regal Garden.

Man Found Dead In Prison: PN Expresses Concerns

Man Found Dead In Prison: PN Expresses Concerns
Apr 5 2024 Share

Following the news of yet another death of an individual awaiting sentencing in prison, reportedly due to self-inflicted harm, the Nationalist Party expresses deep concern regarding the current situation at Corradino prison.

This recent fatality adds to a series of tragic incidents where prisoners have attempted to take their own lives, with sadly many succeeding.

The Nationalist Party emphasises the need for prisons to not only serve as a means of prevention by detaining individuals but also to fulfil a retributive function.

Furthermore, it stresses the importance of ensuring the safety of prisoners who are undergoing rehabilitation programs to prevent recidivism.

Regardless of the circumstances leading to a person’s detention or the allegations against them, justice is not served by allowing individuals to end their own lives, the Nationalist Party says.

‘True justice is achieved when individuals face the consequences of their actions through the judicial process, participate in rehabilitative programs, and are treated with dignity while incarcerated.’

‘The Nationalist Party calls for complete transparency regarding the events surrounding this case in prison, to provide clarity and reassurance to the families of those incarcerated. Simultaneously, it urges immediate attention to be given to the mental health needs of prisoners.’

Promptly responding to a citizen’s report, the ranger and Althea Galea from Vuci ghall-Annimali sprang into action. Within minutes, they located the distressed animals curled up together in the valley.

After swiftly retrieving the pets, they were examined for injuries and are now under Althea’s care for possible rehoming if unclaimed. This rescue highlights the importance of responsible pet ownership and the dire consequences of abandonment.
