Hefty power bills dominate Raia meet

MARGAO: Hefty electricity bills received by the power consumers triggered an uproar at the Raia gram sabha on Sunday, with members accusing the power department of raising bills manifold without proper meter reading. Some members even questioned the rationale behind the calculation of charges.

It was decided that the villagers and the panchayat would approach the power officials on January 15. 
The issue of the Raia killer road was discussed with members demanding to know the  scope of work tendered by the PWD. Sarpanch Rodrigues said the panchayat has adopted a resolution demanding diversion of heavy traffic proceeding to Verna Industrial Estate and Vasco from Borim via Loutolim. 
The gram sabha also condoled the death of former Curtorim MLA and ex-Raia Sarpanch, Antonio Gauncar by observing a minute’s silence.
