MARGAO: A kite festival organized on the occasion of Makar Sakranti by a construction company at Orlim on Sunday was marred after scores of locals descended at the venue protesting the project.

The event marked the opening of the booking of apartments of a mega construction project in the village. The villagers have been protesting the project for long on the grounds that the construction is being carried out in low-lying fields, thereby destroying the agro-cover in the village.
