Advalpal children demonstrated in Porvorim when they were forced to get off their bus by Goa Police on the way to Panjim. Goa Police were wrongly informed by their sources that the protesters from various mining villages are to squat on Mandovi bridge. Police however did not cross their limits to inflict any human rights violations.
