Rising Fear and concern by the Villagers of Bicholim, and Latambarcem Area, due to a lack of a consistent Ambulance facility in the area. Currently, only one ambulance covers the entire village region of Bicholim, which is stationed near Latambarcem VP. The villages in Bicholim are geographically scattered, and hence, when one ambulance is on call or engaged, it takes a longer time to wait for a substitute ambulance. Therefore, it’s a sincere request to the Government to provide us with another ambulance, in the interest of providing timely emergency healthcare.  

Fear, anxiety, and confusion grip the minds of Bicholim\'s people regarding the snail-paced and lethargic work on the Bicholim Bus Stand. The construction of the Bicholim Bus Stand commenced in April 2022.

We had thought—and had been promised—that the project would be completed within two years, as stated in the work order. Hence, we offered no suggestions for changes to the original design or structural reforms. We understand that governance is a continuous process, so we have extended our full cooperation and patiently awaited its completion.

In 2023, we raised a question in the Hon\'ble Goa Legislative Assembly about the slow progress, as work on the project had halted entirely for several months. We repeatedly highlighted the delays during zero-hour sessions and conducted multiple joint inspections. Despite my best efforts to make the department proactive, I am deeply saddened that it is now the third year, and the project remains only approximately 70% complete, with substantial work still pending.

These are essential public utility projects that demand immediate action, efficient financial support, and proactive construction techniques—to deliver the promised utility to people who have placed their trust and confidence in the government.

The people of my constituency have suffered immensely. They endure a tin-sheet-protected shelter in scorching sun and relentless rain; shop owners run their businesses from tiny, makeshift setups while half-baked in the heat; and buses, regular commuters, and students using the facility have faced ongoing hardship.

My sincere request to the Government: There has already been far too much delay in constructing the Bus Stand. I urge the Government to immediately engage additional workforce to significantly boost efficiency and expedite completion.

Fear, Anger and resentment in the minds of people of Nandoa, Latambarcem, Part of Sal and surrounding area in Bicholim Constituency,  monkeys are posing a serious threat to Livelihood, life, agricultural produce and even kids in this region, i have also raised zero hour previously in the assembly, and this assembly i have asked question,, i will like the Govt to provide me with categorical action points the Govt intends to take in this matter. 

Residents of Lamgao and Mulgao villages in Bicholim are gripped by fear, apprehension, distrust, and depression due to the government\'s inability to exclude domestic structures—such as houses, temples, and the panchayat house—from the current mining lease demarcation area.

I have repeatedly raised this plight in previous Assembly sessions through questions and zero-hour mentions, receiving a categorical assurance that the government would respect the sentiments of these residents. Regrettably, no action has followed.

These lease boundaries are predated and redundant, predating even the Portuguese era. I earnestly urge the government to redefine them afresh, constitute an action committee, and resolve this long-pending issue once and for all by excluding the entire residential and religious areas of these villages from the mining lease. I further request the Minister to prioritize this matter on an urgent basis

There is growing anxiety and fear among our people of Goa following the recent High Court directives regarding the widening of district roads, state highways, and rural roads. Many residents and business owners are in a state of panic, worried that their homes and commercial establishments may be demolished in the process, as they have received notices for the same.

I urge the Government to take proactive and compassionate measures to safeguard the interests of the affected citizens while implementing these necessary infrastructure improvements. I request that the Govt. to ensure full transparency, and consult with the public whenever needed and be considerate.  It is crucial that no arbitrary or blanket demolitions are undertaken, and that the dignity and rights of our people are respected and upheld.

The steps the Govt intends to take in this matter.
