MARGAO: The proponents of the Police Housing Cooperative project, which is going on in Raia, did not turn up at the Raia village panchayat as scheduled on Monday. However, locals went the site and reiterated their opposition to the project.
The ongoing tussle between the people of Raia and the developers of the land for Police Housing Cooperative project have led to protests recently, following which, both parties had been called to the panchayat on Monday.
“We are not opposed to someone building a house. But they don’t have permissions and they have been issued a stop work order. Still, they are doing the work and also on holidays” alleged Raia local, Anthony Barbosa.
