“This House strongly recommends the Government to enact a Legislation, in a time bound manner and in any case not later than six months, to establish and regulate crematorium/burial grounds for all sections of the society, at all Panchayats in the State of Goa. The Government to acquire land and set up facilities at the earliest and hand them over to local self-Government bodies for the benefit of all sections of society as in many places in Goa people are still facing grave difficulties in conducting final rites of the deceased members in a dignified manner”.
 

“This House strongly recommends the Government to establish a world class Food Processing Park at the Latambarcem Industrial Estate to boost Agri-Entrepreneurship and value addition to farm produce and provide sustainable employment opportunities for the people of Bicholim Taluka in particular.” 

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of the State, that due to incessant rains, flooding/inundation, landslides and water logging, has been witnessed in several parts of the State and also due to the incessant rains and the heavy flow of the Valvanti River on the NH 748 AA road at Tulshimala, several trees have been uprooted and embankments along the roadsides have also been washed away. The steps the Government has taken in the matter.”

“Fear and Anxiety in the minds of people staying in Sal, Bicholim as the river water level is drastically increasing and has already reached 200 cumecs, the steps the Government has taken to resolve the flooding situation”

“fear and anxiety in the minds of parents and the commuting students, to the various aided and Government schools, due to sudden stoppage of Bal Rath services, as the Balrath service employees have threatened to go on indefinite strike due to unfulfilled demands. The measure the Government has taken in the matter.”

This is to bring to the attention of the house that there is increasing fear, frustration, anxiety and apprehension in the minds of thousands of people of Goa who are working in Govt Departments on contractual basis / work charge basis or any other contractual service arrangements in various Govt departments, example: Meter Readers for Public works and Electricity, Teachers and Trainers in schools, Technical institutes, ITI, Polytechnic, etc, some of them have been in service to the Govt Department for many years, their request to regularize their service and get absorbed in the Govt Dept is Legitimate and Just. Request the Govt to come up with a comprehensive plan to regularize such contractual staff by the end of this financial year. 

I am compelled to draw the attention of the house due to rising Fear and Anxiety in the minds of People of Bicholim Town, a few days back one of the residents of Muslim Wada Bicholim reported a robbery at his house which was worth almost a crore rupees, he is a senior resident, and an ex-defense personnel, the increasing concern is even more pertinent because the said case is less than a Kilometer away from our Police Station, I do agree that the police department is doing their best to crack these robbery cases, but increasingly the robbers are getting fearless, Strict vigilance, faster conviction rate and Severe Judicial law is a must. steps that the Govt intends in curbing such antisocial elements of our society.

Attention of the House is drawn with regards as people of Bicholim as the mining pits in Vedanta Mining seems to be full, the water is being released out without any co-ordination with the tide timings and release of dam gate, request the Ministers to immediately inspect the mining pits and also to strictly inform the company to co-ordinate with your departments, failing which flooding, landslide and disaster is inevitable. Urgent intervention is requested from all Govt authorities, to take cognizance of the ongoing activity at the mining pits, including the pumping, the quantum of pumping, considering the safety of the people of Lamgao and Mulgao. 

This is to bring to your urgent attention due to the recurrent flooding, which is happening at Nanoda road, yesterday in demands I had spoken about the preventive measures to be undertaken, today a Kadamba bus which was trying to the flooded road has malfunctioned and halted in the mid of the road, I thank God , because there were no school going children in the bus. I also request the Govt to undertake a smart messaging system which informs the parents of the school going children and the locals where flooding may occur in the next 1 hour. 

There is increasing apprehension in the mind of 687 people who are waiting to receive jobs on Harness cases, there are cases from the year 2008, I think that the Govt needs to be sympathetic and considerate in providing them a provision to be absorbed in any alternate govt service if there is no vacancy to match the desired qualification.
