VALPOI
Rejecting Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s accusations that they had taken law into their hands, locals of Shel-Melauli withdrew their protest at Valpoi on Wednesday night after serving a 24-hour ultimatum to the government to resolve their demands.
Denying that they had taken law into their hands, the locals said they had only retaliated after the police began a lathi charge on them.
The locals have served a 24-hour ultimatum to the State government to fulfill their demands and warned that they would not allow the government to go ahead with the demarcation work for the controversial IIT project.
