Goa Legislative Assembly

“This House unanimously resolves to urge the Government that the Inspectorate of Survey and Land Records carries out a comprehensive survey of the State and brings on record the changes if any, in terms of its boundaries and/or any structures constructed therein. The last time such an exercise was done was in 1976 and thereafter no such comprehensive attempts were made and the common man has to still rely on old cadastral survey maps.”

“Attention of the House is drawn as regards the people of old Goa regarding Illegal construction work and large scale cutting of trees in buffer zone of UNESCO recognised world heritage site of old Goa to pave way for the project of Goa Tourism Department under Centre's Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and spiritual Augmentation drive (PRASAD) Scheme. The steps the Government intends to take in this regard."

Attention of the house drown to the plight of the people of Cumbharjua constituency, especially the passengers traveling by konkan railway. The pressing issue of the limited number of trains stopping at Karmali station. The konkan railway Line connects to most of the states including  Maharastra and Karnataka  catering to a vast number of Passengers. However, The Current Situation at Karmali station is coursing great hardship to the travelers.

Presently, very  few trains stop at karmali Station, resulting in significant inconvenience to passengers. Moreover, the number of passengers is increasing day by day, exacerbating the problem . This situation not only affects the daily commute of locals but also hampers the overall development of the region. In light of this, Govt should intervene  and direct the Konkan Railway authorities to have an additional railway Stop for all trains  operating on the route of Karmali station.

Steps Govt intent intend to take in this regard.

Attention of the House is drawn as regards the students, parents and staff of Sharada Mandir School Kadamba due to pathetic condition of road stretch beginning from Healthway Hospital to Sharada Mandir School, Kadamba, Goulim Moula.

The road has become hazard to the life of students, parents and staff as well as damage to vehicles plying on the road. There are big pot holes on the road which leads to daily accident to two-wheeler riders.

Recently two staff members of Sharada Mandir School Kadamba have been injured due to the terrible condition of the road.

Steps Govt. intend to take in this regard.

The Gaundalim Railway crossing is one of the major roads located at old Goa panchayat under the Cumbharjua constituency.  There are often traffic congestion noticed due to railway crossing at Dauji.  The services of emergency vehicles are also hampered.  Hence, it is requested to immediately look into the work of the flyover bridge.

There are several islands in Cumbharjua constituency which needs a proper ferry boat service. Nearly a thousand number of people travel across the ferry on daily basis.  The present strength of the ferry boats are not up to the mark.  Hence, it is requested to provide more ferry boats.

I would like to move the following Zero Hour Mention to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Goa.

“Fear and Anxiety in the minds of the people of all people commuting by the road at Dhauji in Cumbharjua Constituency over the traffic chaos and delays. It has been a regular scene at the Old Goa-Dhauji manned railway crossing. The lane-discipline is never obeyed. Normally cars queue up on the left side of the road. Though the right side is meant to be kept vacant for on coming vehicular traffic, it is always the two-wheelers who rush in from every direction and block the entire road. The situation escalates to chaos when an Ambulance carrying a critical patient waits to cross once the gates are lifted. Moreover, the long wait at the manned railway crossing poses risk to critical patients carried by Ambulances who need to reach GMC from the villages of Gaundalim, St. Estevam and Cumbharjua.
