Hi Samir, Firstly thanks for posting all the emails you do regularly, It keeps us aware and updated of all proceedings.
One suggestion.. This group should propogate and promote the sucess of mining stay decision and updates on that, so the public does not forget what has happened and what is the plan ahead. Also things like the Tiger reserve work by Madhav Gadgil, The mindblowing service provided to our wildlife by Amrut Singh. I think this group should have a regular update on these issues and forward them to other news agencies and media. Also is there a facebook page this group is connected to? Please let me know.

The Karapur Sarvan Panchayat had called a special gram sabha to discuss the controversial building constructed at Vathadev by a group. Mamlatdar Chandrakant Shetkar was present for the gram sabha and sighting law and order problem, strong police force was also deployed at the site. The villagers were allowed to enter the hall only after thorough checking of the voters ID card. Initially, there was commotion in the hall as the two groups started arguing over the issue. Sarpanch Aaryan Gaonkar and Deputy Sarpanch Dheeraj Sawant explained the issue and asked the two groups to settle down so that the issue could be discussed in a phased manner. One group told the panchayat that they demand legalisation of the premises as it was already constructed. At this, the other group raised objection and claimed it was against the law to legalise something which is build without proper permission from the authorities. The mamlatdar also told the group that “ any illegal construction could not be made legal by the panchayat.” It was later agreed that the matter should be referred to the higher authorities so that the law could take its course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicholim Goa" group.
