QUEPEM: An allegedly illegal development in a 2,538 sq m property belonging to Quepem municipal council (QMC) and earmarked for an extension of an existing playground at Condy has irked local residents, as municipal authorities have adopted a passive attitude.
The property under survey no. 102/3 is located on the northern side of Quepem town, behind the police station, and development activity has been noticed since March 2, after seven fruit-bearing coconut trees were axed by some labourers.
Suspecting that the activity might be a precursor to some illegal development, the villagers of Condy informed a QMC official; but though he assured that he would conduct a site inspection, no action was initiated by the council.
