The Candolim local governing body and its MLA have cleared unauthorized buildings that were obstructing the area around the town’s primary health centre.
Candolim panchayat, together with the elected Member of Legislative Assembly, carried out a clearance operation to dismantle structures that had been erected illegally near the town’s primary health centre. The removal was undertaken after local authorities identified the buildings as obstructing access to the health facility and violating zoning regulations.
The action aims to restore unhindered entry for patients and staff, thereby improving the delivery of basic medical services in the coastal community. Officials highlighted that the health centre serves a large catch‑area, and any blockage could delay urgent care.
Local residents were observed assisting the removal teams, and the panchayat affirmed that it will continue to monitor the vicinity to prevent future encroachments. The swift response reflects the administration’s commitment to maintaining public infrastructure and safeguarding community health resources.
