Sudden stoppage of payment of Travel Allowance (T.A.) and Dearness Allowance (D.A.) Meter Readers in Electricity Department

Zero Hour mention for 10/02/2024 under “Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of the Goa Legislative Assembly”

I would like to make a zero-hour mention on the following subject: 

Sudden stoppage of payment of Travel Allowance (T.A.) and Dearness Allowance (D.A.) Meter Readers in Electricity Department 

As per SR-71 of FRSR part-II of the Central Government, Travel Allowance is applicable if a Government servant is travelling beyond 8 km to a temporary workplace from the normal place of duty.

Regrettably, some bills of meter readers under electricity department submitted for reimbursement were returned by the Directorate of Accounts seeking clarifications with observation i.e. “provision under which T.A and D. A. claim when duty of meter reader is within their purview”. 

It is understood that Chief Electrical Engineer is seeking clarity from Finance Department on the admissibility of T.A and D. A. to meter readers in the Electricity Department and the reply is awaited. 

The impact of non-payment of T.A. and D.A. to metre readers has resulted in reduced job satisfaction and has put a financial strain on them. Due to increased fuel prices, they are spending a substantial portion out of their salary to travel to perform their duty. 

I request the Hon’ble Minister for Power to kindly intervene and resolve the issue of non-payment of T.A and D. A. and make interim arrangements for an office vehicle to be provided to the meter readers to travel to perform their duty until the issue is resolved.

Crop damage by red-faced monkeys and wild animals in Sattari taluka

Zero Hour mention for 10/02/2024 under “Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of the Goa Legislative Assembly”

I would like to make a zero-hour mention on the following subject: 

Crop damage by red-faced monkeys and wild animals in Sattari taluka 

As per records of the Department of Agriculture, a total cover of 14, 595.22 hectares in Sattari is utilised for farming and more than 5,000 farmers are Krishi card holders. The farmers of Sattari depend solely on farming for their livelihood.

I had raised the issue of crop damage by wild animals in the last assembly session and I am thankful to the Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture for amending the Clause under Shetkari Adhar Nidhi, so that the affected farmers are able to claim compensation multiple times a year. I request the Hon Minister to kindly ensure funds are allocated so that the compensation claims can be honoured on time.

The farmers are happy with the amendment to the Clause; however, the farmers have made a request to prepare a comprehensive plan that will protect the crop from wild animals and safeguard them against huge financial losses.

Mhadei Varta of 07/02/2024 has reported (show article) that in the village of Keri, Sattari, the red-faced monkeys attacked humans and destroyed coconut plantations. If the destruction to the plantation is not stopped, it will result in scarcity of coconuts in the market and impact the costing thereby making it unaffordable for the people. 

Monkeys and giant squirrels are a menace, as they feed on coconuts throughout the year and destroy crops by sipping juice from tender arecanuts. Wild boars and porcupines are damaging the soil (rhizospheres) of young coconut and arecanut saplings. Farmers also suffer loss of fruiting trees viz. cashewnut, mango etc. caused by the hardy horns of bisons and deers. 

I reiterate the need for awareness to be created amongst farmers in Sattari by the Dept of Agriculture regarding the various schemes that has been introduced for the benefits of the farmers and ensure the schemes are implemented in Sattari Taluka.

I have received feedback from a few farmers that the Electronic Ultrasonic Repeller for monkeys is not very effective and they have requested to investigate the reason for the repeller not giving the desired results 

I request the hon’ble Minister to kindly ensure funds are allocated for the compensation claims, organise awareness camps and ensure the schemes are implemented in Sattari Taluka.

Fear and anxiety in the minds of parents due to cancellation of classes due to shortage of school teachers in Govt. Primary Schools, Poriem constituency

Fear and anxiety in the minds of parents due to cancellation of classes due to shortage of school teachers in Govt. Primary Schools (GPS), Poriem constituency.  Presently, 28 teachers from GPS, poriem constituency have been commissioned as Supervisors/ Enumerators to carry out field work 3 days a week as part of the Agriculture census, 2022-23. As most of the Govt. Primary Schools are managed by a single teacher, the schools are forced to remain closed 3 days a week.  This is in addition to the shortage of teachers and non availability of temporary replacement.

The teachers of GPS are over-burdened because besides their regular teaching job, they have to handle activities related to State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Goa Samagra, National Education Policy (NEP), School Management Committee (SMC) etc.

In this context, request the hon\'ble Minister for Education to cancel this additional duty of Agriculture census that has been given to GPS teachers, as this has an adverse impact on the academics of the students.
