A few days following the cable-cutting incident in Panjim, which resulted in an internet outage, Electricity Department Executive Engineer Kashinath Shetye found himself at the center of a new controversy on Friday. This arose from a verbal dispute with Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar regarding the closure of two traditional pathways in Bogda that have been utilized for over 50 years.
