Legislation on vital service lines Water supply lines as well as electricity and telephone are but essential services No one should be able to deny the neighbour on the ground of passing through his property. Fortunately the service lines today are gone underground but the situation persists.Right to underground passage be restricted on reasonable considerations of avoidable damage .Inspite of it many due to enemical reasons are refusing permission for connections.It needs to be reminded that these lines pass through many other properties before they reach the consumer .Years ago the delegation ofChinchinim citizens met the then CM Dr.Dsouza Wilfred to legislate as an arrongant and adamant neighbour was obstructing acess to public utilities .His reply was that Saligao Village is a model village where such petty problems are totally alien and there is no need for such a legislation .Even to this date a neighbour is being denied access to these vital services causing hardships.The legislation must ensure that only diversion in the property is way forward.In the alternative such services be disconnected to such individuals .
