Meanwhile, activists have said that the RVNL has taken over Mollo and Pale villages and made life hell for the villagers. They decried the movement of truck and drilling work through the night disturbing the peace of the citizens. They have created hell for us, Orville Dourado told media.
They have even filed the spring by putting pipes and building a road over it. The workers are not registered and they are moving in the village. This poses a danger to our women and children, Dourado warned.
