The Cuncolim BJP MLA met the railway officer at Cuncolim and demanded that the transportation of Coal be stopped. Some of the people also alleged that the work of double tracking is still ongoing. Why is the Government going against the people demands on Coal and double tracking?.

All MLAs are elected by the people but today people are being sidelined, Nationalist Congress Party alleged on Friday. NCP leaders also urged all MLAs to support peoples agitation and scrap these projects, Double tracking is because of Coal. The BP is seeking to communally polarise the state using this peoples agitation. This is an old BJP trick, Goa Forward Supremo Vijai Sardesai said.
