The Public Should Have Been Informed Through Gram Sabhas

Times of India reported that the hearing called by the Goa state pollution control board to hear public grievances regarding project development of an iron ore export terminal at the waterfront, west of the breakwater at Mormugao port, was adjourned on Sunday.

Locals said the public should have been informed through gram sabhas and municipalities situated within a 10km radius of the meeting place, which was not done.

Additional collector (north) N S Navti said "I will make sure, next time such a hearing is held, all procedures will be followed properly."
