Goa: Calangute residents protest construction at heritage site

CALANGUTE: Residents of Calangute and surrounding areas held a peaceful protest rally, on Tuesday, in support of the ongoing hunger strike against illegal construction at the world heritage site zone of Old Goa. The protest was held at the Dolphin circle, opposite Calangute church.
“We want that structure to be demolished. That is our only demand. We want the government to listen to our plea and we are sure the government will do the needful,” Calangute parish priest Fr Polly Lobo said.
“The structure has been built by manipulating documents. It has to be demolished,” president of the Calangute Constituency Forum Premanand Divkar said.
