Goa Government Demarcates IIT Project Land Despite Locals Protests

Despite ongoing protests, the Goa Government has demarcated land for the IIT campus on January 5 with heavy police deployment. Reportedly, the proposed IIT campus at Shel-Melaulim village in Sattari taluka of North Goa is being opposed by the residents fearing displacement. The locals-police clash in the pockets of Goa were also witnessed after the villagers surfaced that the teams have deceitfully completed the survey, while they were kept busy by the police.
