MARGAO
Residents of Madel in Fatorda took to the streets on Thursday evening to protest against what they called an illegal exercise conducted by some individuals in placing survey stones in the locality.
Fatorda Police rushed to Madel on Thursday evening after a group of residents led by Milagres Fernandes complained over the erection of stones at many locations in the ward.
While the purpose of the erection of stones remains unknown, the residents charged two residents of a multi-storied building behind the exercise for reasons unknown.
Margao Municipal Councillor Francis Joanes, representing Madel, also made his presence felt in the area. He underlined the need to first find out the purpose behind the erection of the stones before taking further action.
Milagres later told the media that the authorities should initiate action by calling the two residents to the police station to find out the purpose behind the erecting of the stones.
“People of Madel locality are apprehensive over the exact motive behind placing the stones along the road and the adjoining areas. Let the authorities investigate the complaint lodged by the residents,” he said.
