MLC Ivan D’Souza and former MLA JR Lobo addressed the protestors and wanted to know why the   Pumpwell flyover works are incomplete even after eight years while such projects are completed within  one and a half hours  upon commencement. They blamed  the local MLA  for the delay and alleged that  he was shrugging off his responsibilities.

MUDA Chairman Suresh Ballal, former mayor Mahabala Marla, District Youth Congress President Mithun Rai, Mahila Congress President Shalet Pinto and others were present.

Traffic was disrupted in the area for some time as the Congress workers also staged a Rasta Roko.
