MARGAO: Locals who have been regularly attending gram sabhas of Cavelossim panchayat criticized the panchayat body both past and present for its inaction in implementing gram sabha resolutions causing heavy loss of revenue to the panchayat.

The gram sabha members even pointed out that the recently held gram sabha last Sunday should have been held in the month of October as per provisions of law and after much delay it was finally organized on November 25.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the gram sabha members raised several issues starting with pointing out that the panchayat body had failed to collect payments due to them from certain units who were carrying out construction of fishing trawlers and boat repairs for the last seven years and to check if their activities were legal or not.

The gram sabha members also promised to follow up on the resolution passed unanimously at Sunday's gram sabha where they opposed a recently-opened nightclub in the premises of a starred hotel in Cavelossim and further pointed out that the NOC from the panchayat was required for such activity.

Benaulim MLA Caitu D'Silva has also asked the Cavelossim panchayat to seek legal opinion on the question if the body can stop the club from operating in the village.

"We had obtained the necessary clearances when we opened ( the hotel ) last year and as far as the nightclub is concerned, we are totally within the purview of law and are not doing anything wrong. They can seek legal opinion if they want to," said Varun Albuquerque, who is running the nightclub.

On a different note, the gram sabha members rued the fact they were no given satisfactory answers from the panchayat on the issue of garbage management in the village.

They complained of encroachments on the part of certain hotels which had to led to insufficient parking space and on a similar note suggested that the panchayat come out with a policy to help the local taxi operators at the time of issuing licenses to the hoteliers.

The gram sabha members said that the panchayat had failed to act despite them raising the issue regarding roads shown on beaches in the approved plans of all the hotels on several occasions.
