Relatives, friends, well-wishers and villagers bid a tearful adieu to the two Raia women - Fiona Pachceo and Francila Pires, who breathed their last in the Sunday Karwar tragedy, as their mortal remains were laid to rest at the Raia cemetery on Monday evening.
Funerals of the two women took place at the Raia cemetery on Monday evening.
A total of five Priests, including Parish Priest Fr Leonardo Moares, joined in the Eucharistic celebrations at the Our Lady
of Snows Church before the last rites were conducted at the cemetery as hundreds of people paid their last respects to the departed souls.
In the meantime, Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco informed that the remaining three bodies from Goa, including that of the woman from Curtorim Marcelina, have been brought to Goa from Karwar.
