Goa police's Calangute traffic cell has ceased operations after the village panchayat disconnected its power supply due to an unpaid electricity bill of Rs 8 lakh. The cell, operating at the Poriat football ground since 2012, failed to pay dues for over a decade. The panchayat has also covered sewage and vehicle costs for the cell.
