Union Ayush Minister and North Goa MP Shripad Naik assured the devotees of Shri Mauli temple at Poraskadem of doing everything to save the heritage temple which is proposed to be shifted for widening of National Highway-17 at Poraskadem.
“I will take up the temple issue with the Ministry of Highways,” he assured the devotees during his visit to the temple on election
campaign.
Divergent views have emerged from different factions on the issue of the shifting of temple, while one group is of the opinion that the temple be shifted another is against it. Some devotees even threatened of resorting to agitation if demolition was ever made.
The minister told the people that he would convene a meeting of both the
groups.
