Failure of the Government to denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva

\"Concerns and Anxiety in the minds of the People, especially of Salcete regarding failure of the Government to denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva. Government had given Assurance on the Floor of the House and I believe Chief Minister has also accorded his Approval to Denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva. The Traffic Cell at Colva has turned out to be Nuisance to the Commuters whose main focus is to Harass the Citizens rather than Regulating Traffic. Government should immediately issue necessary Orders to Denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva\"
