A group of Parishioners led by Jesus Romao and Anthony Cardozo went to the office of the local comunidade body to question the office bearers, only to find the office staff available. The staff told the delegation that they have also received a letter from the Church regarding the shifting of the six gaddas close to the entrance to the cemetery.
While the delegation of parishioners made it known to the staff that they will not taking things down, they have warned to return back to the comunidade within a week if the gaddas are not removed from the site.
Jesus told The Goan that the gaddas are all movable carts and wondered how they can be relocated at a fixed place and that too close to the entrance to the cemetery. He said the gaddas poses obstruction to people going to the cemetery, adding that the people will not keep quite if the gaddas are not removed from the site within a week's time.
Agitated Parishioners had come to comunidade office last Sunday to question the body, but they returned back after finding no office bearer.
Another Parishioner Anthony Cardozo said the people will not keep quite and will agitate if the gaddas are not removed from the spot.
