The Gramsabha meeting was also attended by Canacona MLA and GLA Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar, besides most of the villagers/members.
Chaired by Sarpanch Anandu Desai, Sarpanch requested members to bring forth the needs of respective areas so that the same can be achieved through government assistance.
People demanded a footbridge and underground cabling of electricity alignment to Keri, a remote, hilly and inaccessible forest area in Cotigao wildlife sanctuary where sizeable residents are living.
Residents also demanded a tar road to Nadkem and Avail, another forest and remote areas in Khotigao village.
A demand was made for the beautification of Kosambakadem, a heritage site at Baddem, which has sitting and resting Chairs/Benches carved from stones.
