The agitating locals of Shel-Melauli have dismissed Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s invitation to a delegation for talks on the controversial IIT project in their village.
According to locals, Sawant had called up Shubham Shivolkar of Melauli and co-convener of the Melauli Panchakroshi Gram Bachao Andolan on Wednesday evening and had invited a 10-member delegation to Panaji on Thursday to discuss their grievances with him.
Shivolkar then put forth the chief minister’s proposal to the agitating locals and sought their opinion and they rejected the CM’s offer to interat with a 10-member delegation.
They have, instead, demanded that the chief minister visits Shel-Melauli and interacts with all the people opposed to the IIT project.
