“They kept their demands before the public and even made a representation to govt. I will go through it. We will do what people want,” Sawant said.

Hundreds of Goans poured into Panaji on Tuesday for a public meeting in response to a call for a ‘people’s movement’ by retired Allahabad HC chief justice Ferdino Rebello. Rebello called for a statewide people’s movement to halt hill cutting, forest diversion, and what he called “the moral and ecological collapse of the state”.

Rebello said govt must stop treating citizens with contempt and begin listening to them with empathy, and called for amendments to land laws to prevent the sale of property to non-Goans.
