Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, expresses her heartfelt condolences on the passing of Senator Deoroop Teemal, esteemed President of the National Council of Indian Culture (NCIC) and Independent Senator in the 13th Republican Parliament.
Senator Teemal first entered the Senate in 2018 as an Independent Senator in the 11th Republican Parliament and continued to serve with distinction, dedication, and unwavering professionalism until his passing. A committed advocate for cultural preservation and development, he was widely respected for his integrity, patriotism, and service to the nation.
Outside of his parliamentary contributions, Senator Teemal was a highly accomplished Civil and Structural Engineer and Project Manager with over 37 years of experience. His expertise in project management, contract administration, construction implementation, and water and wastewater engineering was sought after by major national agencies, including the Ministry of Works, NIPDEC, WASA, and the Gaspar Grande Water Supply Project.
Her Excellency extends her deepest sympathy to Senator Teemal’s family, friends, colleagues, and the wider national community who mourn the loss of a man whose life was dedicated to service, culture, and country.
May he rest in peace.
