MARGAO: Save Mhadei Save Goa Front will launch an awareness campaign in South Goa to sensitise people about the Mhadei issue and the threats posed to Goa by the proposed Kalasa Bhandura project of Karnataka.
To begin with, the Front has urged people of Salcete to light a candle or a lamp in front of their houses on February 12 between 7pm and 7.30pm, as a symbolic protest.
“This is to show the government at the state and the Centre our anger and anxiety over the proposed diversion of the Mhadei and to demand justice,” convenor of Salcete wing of the Front, Serafino Cota, said.
Prashant Naik spoke about the Front’s plans of holding meetings at central places of all talukas shortly. “Preparatory meetings will be held at panchayat levels. The taluka-level meetings will culminate into a huge meeting at Lohia Maidan, Margao, by March-end. However, if the Lohia Maidan (which is undergoing renovation) isn’t available by then, an alternative location will be identified.” TNN
