The Telaulim gram sabha on Sunday, which was attended by just around 14 members, has resolved to rope in an NGO to tackle the increasing menace from the stray dogs.
The gram sabha which was chaired by Sarpanch Estevan Goes deliberated on the stray dog menace in the village and the failure of a mechanism to tackle the issue.
Members pointed out that how stray dogs have been on the prowl in and around the Coldem-Dialdona area in the village, creating fear and anxiety in the minds of the ward people.
After much discussions, the Sarpanch informed that the Panchayat would write a letter to the Goa Animal Welfare Trust with a plea to take up the work on the Animal Birth Control (ABC) program on priority.
The Sarpanch later told the media that the panchayat would immediately write to the NGO to take up the ABC program in the village immediately.
The gram sabha also deliberated on an issue raised by a gram sabha on the reported consumption of liqour and drugs at a particular bandh in the village.
Members demanded that the Panchayat immediately take up the matter with the Margao police for urgent action and protect the village youth from the menace.
Sarpanch Estevan later told the media that the Panchayat would write a letter to the Margao police with a request to carry out patrolling of the place mentioned by the gram sabha members.
Incidentally, the Sarpanch pointed out that he had taken up the matter with the Margao police sometime back, but the police had suggested to the panchayat to install CCTV cameras to monitor the movements of the people and keep the antis-ocial
elements at bay.
