PANJIM: Villagers from areas that were proposed to be included under the Greater Panaji Planning and Development Authority and others will hold a peaceful protest at Azad Maidan on Friday afternoon.
Villagers said they will not keep quiet until all villages are removed from GPPDA which also includes Taleigao.
“The PDAs are unconstitutional, as there is no people’s consent in the planning exercise as enshrined in the 73rd and 74th Amendment of the Constitution,” Arturo D’Souza of Goenkars Against PDA said.
Goa Bachao Abhiyan and Council for Social Justice and Peace have also called on the people to come out in large numbers to support the meet.
Representatives from Calangute and Candolim have extended their support to the agitation.
