“I strongly condemn the act of the panchayat for complaining against the 4 members for creating a ruckus when actually it was not done as there was even a strong police presence and itis done only for some personal reasons ” said Mandrekar
“Everyone has the right to hold a protest in a democracy and I want to ask the panch members as to why they had to complain only against the 4 members when there were other members of the community “said another member of the committee.
“we were protesting against a good cause but the panchayat had misused its power and started lodging complaint against us first they have committed a mistake by granting permission to the project but the villagers had kept quiet but now the panchayat has gone to the personal level by lodging complaints against few members” said another committee member
