VASCO: The Goa unit of Congress on Thursday protested at Cortalim against the constant traffic jams from Cortalim to Agacaim.

Later, Mahila Congress President Pratima Coutinho told media persons that “Lives at stake here every day. Deaths have been reported in ambulances due to traffic jams on this road. The government has police to stop protests, but no police to prevent traffic jams.”
GPCC President Chodankar said, “We wanted to walk and protest against the problems of people peacefully and the BJP Government has detained us.”
