CALANGUTE: With owners not coming forward to claim their vehicles which have been impounded by the Calangute panchayat, the civic body has now decided to auction eight four-wheelers which had been seized after it started a drive in April.
After the issue had been highlighted in gram sabhas, the Calangute panchayat had issued a public notice in February warning the owners of abandoned vehicles to remove them before the end of the month failing which the panchayat would confiscate/attach the vehicles as it was creating a public nuisance. But despite the notice, none of the vehicles were removed by the owners. The last public notice was published in August.
