PANAJI
'Taleigaonkars' served an ultimatum to their local MLA and Revenue Minister Jennifer Monserrate and Panaji MLA Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate to publicly clarify their stand until Sunday on the proposal to merge Taleigao panchayat into the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) or face an agitation.
"From Sunday we will start mobilising the entire Taleigao village and launch an agitation against the move," Advocate Pundalik Raikar said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Raikar accused the Monserrates of a sinister design to further their real estate vested interests which he said is destroying Taleigao's verdant green cultivable lands with concrete edifices and an illegal network of roads.
