It was tough fight yesterday April 21 2009 between the multinational Sesa Goa mining company and Advalpal's villagers defending their village crematorium ground in Bicholim Taluka. At around 9.30 pm Sesa Goa mining company came with their machinery and started digging their crematorium. Advalpal villagers rushed to the spot and challenged the mining company owned by British Vedantas.
The corporate versus the villagers fight continued for the entire day and at 4.30 pm Sesa Goa were forced to retreat by withdrawing their machinery in action.
In the meanwhile Bicholim Court today 22 April 2009 to set aside the injunction against about 70 Advalpal villagers from entering Sesa Goa mines.
