While addressing the people, Cabral thanked the citizens of Curchorem who voted for him twice. “I shall always remain obliged to make me win twice,” said Cabral.

Cabral assured that he is committed to complete these projects. The mega projects like Cacoda Health Centre and Sports Complex are expected to get completed in the near future and these will make the city feel proud, said Cabral.
