MARGAO: Constant power disruptions dominated the gram sabha of Dramapur-Sirlim Panchayat on Sunday.
Agitated villagers raised a banner of protest against power blackouts in the village for the last several days. There was an unanimous demand from the gram sabha members present that sarpanch Agostinho D’Costa should take up the issue with authorities concerned so that village should receive uninterrupted power.
Sarpanch D’Costa informed that they have received letter from PWD authorities requesting for NOC from panchayat to complete the work of children’s park at Zumakoto-Dramapur. He said the panchayat body would grant the NOC based on a resolution adopted at today’s gram sabha. Work on the project was stopped after the panchayat protested that the PWD took up the project without taking the panchayat into confidence.
Gram sabha member Wilson Viegas objected to the broadening of a road without NOC of owners.
