MARGAO: With a request to provide basic facilities to Vavurla village, the members of tribal community of Goa on behalf of all residents of Vavurla village, Quepem handed a memorandum to the Chief Minister informing about the non-availability of basic facilities like road, education, piped supply of clean water, health, toilets, etc.
The members of the Tribal Associations informed the CM that there is no motorable road to the village as Vavurla is located 1600 metres above sea level Situated in a remot area of Quepem and bordering Canacona taluka, the village is blessed with nature’s bounty. Sadly, this idyllic village on the mountaintop lacks any basic modern-day facilities and does not have a motorable road. The only way in or out of the village is along a steep winding mountain path through the dense forests. For years, residents of the village have been treading this path that takes them over 60 minutes to get down and 90 minutes to return to their homes.
They traverse this path everyday just to connect to the nearest road and the outside world. A mud road on this mountain path from Vavurla to Challim was constructed by villagers but was washed away during the rainy season. The Association has requested the Chief Minister to fulfill their demands of basic needs.
