06 May 2021 05:39 PM

Tension flared up at Benaulim after locals went up in arms and opposed demarcation of proposed health center in Benaulim. Government claims land belong to provedoria but locals claim the land belongs to them. However, the pro Local MLA Churchill Alemao groups says that the opposition to the health center is politically motivated.




 Demarcation of land for proposed health center began in Benaulim amid tight police protection. However, locals refused to budge down and tried to stop demarcation. They alleged the land doesn't belong to provedoria. Locals are cultivating on this land.

Most importantly the land is in low lying area as a result health center cannot be built here. Churchill says the health center will benefit Benaulim and neighbouring villages especially amid the prevailing covid pandemic.

Local MLA Churchill Alemao stressed land belongs to government and  health center needed keeping covid situation in mind.
