Ahead of the 2017 Assembly election, strong contender for the Nuvem Congress ticket and Zilla member, Wilfred D’Sa, has maintained his stranglehold over the Nuvem village Panchayat.
In the elections held for the vacant post of Nuvem Sarpanch, a close aide of the zilla member, Conceissao Colaco was on Wednesday elected as the new Sarpanch.
Colaco later told the media that he has been supported by Wilfred and the remaining panch members to get elected on the coveted post.
Replying to a question, the new sarpanch said the panchayat would immediately move the government to hotmix the damaged village roads, adding that the panchayat would also ask the government to take up de-silting of the river Sal.
Wilfred exuded confidence that the new sarpanch will initiate the village development, while promising his help and assistance to the new body.
