Open season for goondagardi


A restaurant owner in Vasvaddo Benaulim has erected a dwarf laterite wall to block access to a prestigious housing society in Benaulim. 

A minor argument between the local and residents of the housing society led to the former using strong-arm tactics. The daring man has put up a wall on a government built road leading up to the main entrance of the complex. This is also hazardous to vehicles and pedestrians using the road and minor accidents have already taken place.

I request the Cana Benaulim village panchayat and law enforcement authorities to take strictest possible action in the matter.
