There were furor among the locals after their ward member Saluzinho Fernandes failed to attend their meeting.

All villagers marched to Calangute panchayat and gheroed Saluzinho on the issue.

A small meeting was held. But to no avail.

The attorney then said that the call on this will be taken on this during their general body meeting.
