Residents of Galgibaga had alleged that construction activities were taking place near a government pre-primary and primary school in Talpona.

The local panch then reported the matter to the Poinguinim panchayat, prompting Poinguinim Sarpanch Savita Tawadkar to issue a stop-work notice to the party concerned.

Anand Naik had also sent two separate letters to the Canacona deputy collector and the sarpanch of Loliem-Polem, complaining about construction activities and demanded site inspections through the mamlatdar of Canacona.
