Hill-cutting stopped at Anjuna

SALIGAO: Following the intervention of local panchayat members and members of an NGO, a case of alleged illegal hill-cutting being undertaken by a builder within the jurisdiction of the Anjuna-Caisua village panchayat was stopped recently.
Locals pointed out that illegal hill-cutting had been going on for several days at Devul Vaddo in survey no. 509/1, and those involved in the activity could not furnish the permissions for the same.
Anjuna PI Suraj Gawas along with a police team rushed to the spot and seized the earth-moving machinery used for the hill cutting.
Further investigations are in progress.
