Tensions have resurfaced in Curchorem-Shelvon, where residents are once again expressing strong opposition to a proposed jetty project, citing serious environmental concerns.
Locals fear that the development could disrupt the region’s ecological balance, impact traditional livelihoods, and pose long-term risks to the natural landscape. Many residents claim they were not adequately consulted and have raised questions about the transparency of the project’s approval process.
The protest marks a renewed wave of resistance, following earlier demonstrations where villagers had voiced similar apprehensions. Residents are demanding that the government halt the project immediately and conduct a thorough environmental impact assessment.
Authorities have yet to issue a fresh statement, but growing unrest suggests that the issue could escalate unless addressed through dialogue and public consultation.
