Later, the members confronted Quepem Executive Magistrate Sudin Nato and sought to know why high court order regarding overloading of mining trucks was not implemented despite of the instructions given by the Collector.
The members also brought to the notice of the magistrate that due to overloading of mining trucks, a lot of spillage take place in Quepem town, which results in dust pollution.
After giving a patient hearing to the members, Nato assured the members that he would look into the matter and communicate their grievances to his higher ups.

The members brought to the notice of the DySP about the violation of High Court order with regard to loading and regulation of flow of mining trucks. They also brought to his notice about constant traffic jam in Quepem town.
DySP Patre informed the agitators that it was the duty of the traffic police. Irked with DySP Patre’s reply, the members questioned the DySP if it was not the duty of his office, then why police from Quepem Police Station are deputed to monitor mining trucks at the check post at Tank and Sirvoi.
