MARGAO: The Chandor Cavorim gram sabha stoutly opposed the proposal to set up an automobile service station at Locnol in the village and asked the panchayat not to issue the ‘no objection certificate’ for the project.
Residents of the area were upset with the panchayat for having issued a provisional NOC to the project and have been protesting against it for the last few months.
A requisition signed by around 30 villagers was submitted to the panchayat to discuss the matter at the gram sabha on Sunday. Panchayat member Mafaldina Martins led the people objecting the service station.
Chandor Cavorim gram sabha was chaired by the Deputy Sarpanch Arlinda Tereza as the sarpanch has resigned.
