Local issues
[edit | edit source]Over five years from 2017, the traditional fishing communities of Cutbona and Betul faced issues of the breakwater facility at the mouth of the Sal river. Many protests were held over the delay of the construction of the facility by the Fisheries department of the state government. As of 19 September 2022, The Chief Minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant had given his assurance that the work will commence soon.[3]
