Goa’s Cavelossim locals demand 8 m wide bypass road

In Goa's Cavelossim village, the gram sabha unanimously adopted a resolution that the width of the proposed bypass road from near the under-construction Assolna-Cavelossim bridge to Xirro, Carmona, should not be more that 8 m, instead of 30 m that the villagers claimed to have been planned. Gram sabha members pointed out that the 30 m wide road would result in the village losing its rural character and insisted that the width of the road should be restricted to a maximum of 8 m.
