Former Sancoale ZP and ex-sarpanch of Chicalim Neelima Naik has returned to panchayat elections and filed her nomination from Ward 2 of Chicalim Panchayat on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking to reporters, Naik said villagers had personally met her and compelled her to file a nomination for Panchayat elections.
"I have been the ZP and sarpanch and also been an attorney of the comunidade body and had taken up development works during my tenure. However, we have seen many issues coming up and people have not witnessed much development works in our ward.”
“The works undertaken by me years ago as the panch, Sarpanch or the ZP are the only things existing in the ward and the people have felt neglected because there has been no development ever since," said Naik.
Naik said small projects like drainage, gutters, fogging, bush cutting etc. can be taken up at the panchayat level and give maximum benefit and relief to villagers.
“The villagers insisted that they want to have a panch who is part of their ward and is well-connected with the village and understands the basic grievances faced by the people and have extended their support to me to file my nomination," said Naik.
