The recent Gram Sabhas in Mencurem, Betalbatim, and Korgaon witnessed strong responses from locals over various civic issues. In Mencurem, heated arguments broke out over a crematorium proposal and illegal constructions, leading to a near clash when a resident attempted to throw a chair before being restrained by others. Meanwhile, Betalbatim residents expressed strong opposition to ongoing mega building projects, though the panchayat explained that legal loopholes force them to grant approvals despite their own objections.

In Korgaon, the primary focus remained on basic infrastructure and civic amenities. Villagers strongly demanded the immediate repair of all ward roads ahead of the upcoming Chaturthi festival. Across all three villages, locals held their respective panchayat bodies accountable, demanding urgent intervention on infrastructure and development concerns.
