Cutting across party lines, Sanguem residents on Friday joined hands to strongly oppose the acquisition of large tracts of fertile land in Uguem for the proposed garbage treatment plant of Curchorem Cacora Municipal Council (CCMC). Criticizing the notification for land acquisition process issued by Under Secretary Revenue Department D M Redkar for acquiring the land, Sanguem MLA Vassudev Meng Gaonkar argued that the land acquisition procedure was arbitrary and had no basis.
