With Bicholim taluka having large tracts of agricultural land, several incidents of dry grass fires take place, especially during the summer.

Locals said that they are unable to intimate the fire station in cases of fire and that they have to physically rush to the department office to lodge their complaints.

Bicholim residents have therefore urged the fire station authorities to keep the landline operational.

When contacted, Bicholim fire station officers said they have lodged a complaint with the telephone department on several occasions. However, the telephone workers could not trace the fault yet. As a consequence, the landline remains dead for a prolonged time period.
