The panchayat secretary further informed that a decision has been taken at the fortnightly meeting and it has been conveyed to the BDO.
“We have decided to take the legal route to deal with the matter,” secretary Clifton Azavedo said.
He said farmers from both the villages and immersion of Ganesh idols will be affected if the area is fenced.
Another local, Sarvesh Raikar expressed concern about mobile phone towers being erected in private properties.
