The erection of a mobile tower in an agricultural area was at the centre of discussion at the Veling-Priol-Cuncoliem panchayat gram sabha where the villagers charged that the local body was not working in the interest of the villagers.
Villagers from Mardol opposed the mobile tower and sought action at the gram sabha presided by Sarpanch Laxmikant Khedekar.
The secretary Dinkar Kosambe and other panch members were present on the occasion. It may be recalled that the villagers had complained against the new mobile tower erected in the agricultural area at Mardol and had demanded action. However, no action was taken. Hence this issue was raised in the gram sabha.
Meanwhile, the panchayat also resolved to levy minimum Rs 100 as garbage tax per month on each household. On the waste management front, the panchayat informed that dry waste was collected from all eleven wards.
