Borkar Defies CM's Plea, Continues Hunger Strike Over TCP Act in Goa

• RGP MLA Viresh Borkar refuses to end his fast-unto-death despite Goa CM Pramod Sawant's request.
• Borkar demands the repeal of Section 39A of the Town and Country Planning Act, which allows land conversion in tribal areas to 'settlement zone'.
• Protesters also seek suspension of police officers for alleged manhandling during a previous protest.
• Borkar stated he is more concerned about the state's health than his own and will continue until demands are met.
• The protest, now in its fourth day, saw Borkar rejoin after a brief hospitalization due to deteriorating health.
