BICHOLIM: Narve gram sabha was on Sunday prolonged for several hours, after the villagers objected to sarpanch’s ignorance over the purpose of convening gram sabhas.
When the gram sabha began, the villagers asked why there was no loudspeaker announcement. They also demanded to know if Sarpanch Pratishtha Mishal was aware of the purpose of the gram sabhas.
Irked with this, the sarpanch told the villagers that she was well aware of her duties and in turn asked them to explain the purpose of having gram sabhas.
The sarpanch sighting commotion tried to leave the hall, to which the villagers got more furious and stalled the proceedings for over two hours.
The villagers also demanded an apology from the sarpanch for not following the agenda. Later, the sarpanch apologized saying that she should have followed the agenda.
Later, several issues including dry dock in the village, sand extraction and others were discussed.
