As for the area within Chandor-Cavorim village panchayat, the villagers demanded that the ground at Cavorim be properly demarcated and provided with “basic infrastructure” and also asked to shift the power transformer in the vicinity of the said ground.

They also demanded that the joggers trek proposed under the MPLAD scheme on this ground should be constructed on the periphery and the area encroached upon by some individual without reducing the dimensions of the ground.

Besides, the also demanded the desilting of all water bodies including the mighty “Oll” having the sluice gates in the village.

While demanding underground cabling of the power lines and setting up of a sewage system in the village, they also asked for replacing the age old asbestos pipes for water supply with cement pipes.

As for Guirdolim, the villagers demanded road dividers to the railway under pass approach roads while also providing a walking path for pedestrians in the underpass and erecting a mobile tower at the Monte Hill in the village to provide mobile connectivity to the residents.
