Will the Hon\'ble Minister for Home be pleased to state:

There is fear and anxiety in the minds of the people because heavy trucks and containers are parked on the side of the road from MES College Junction to Titan junction. Several tragic  accidents have taken place due to the parked vehicles on the road side. Logistic hub is at Meta Strip, Sancoale but the vehicles are parked on the roadside. Similarly many tankers, trailers and lorries are parked on the above mentioned road. Requesting the Home Minister to please take immediate action in this regard before more lives are lost because of illegal parking of vehicles on the road side.

Will the Hon\'ble Minister for Home be pleased to state:

There is a fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa as some un-necessary activities are being carried out frequently in the church property at the frontispiece of the old church at Rua Escrivo de Maria, Sancoale by some persons from outside our state of Goa. It appears that there is a move to create communal tensions in Goa. We, goans are peace loving and have been united for so many years in brotherhood and fraternity. Requesting the Hon\'ble Minister for Home to please take serious action against these persons and ensure that such activities do not take place at the frontispiece of the Old Church at Sancoale and the whole of Goa in the future.

1. There is fear and anxiety in the minds of the people about the land slide taking place at Sotrant, Pajentar  besides the New Zuari Bridge road. There was a major landslide in 2022 and this monsoon season some rocks and mud have slid down on the road side. If this landslide continues ,in the next monsoon there could be serious calamities including tragedies . There is also a PWD Water tank which will collapse and slide down . Hon\'ble Chief Minister may kindly take immediate action  to construct a retaining wall and save further destruction of the hill at the earliest.

Fear and anxiety in the minds of he villagers of Sancoale in view of an  illegal  construction activity  is being carried out by one ANS Construction Pvt. Ltd. in Sy. No. 257/1 on a massive land admeasuring  around 35000 sq.mtrs. which had been earlier declared as Private forest. Activities such as hill cutting, tree felling, fixing of GI sheets, etc. has been carried out at the site. Steps Government  intends to take in the matter.

There is fear and anxiety amongst the people of Cortalim because there is landslide occuring on the hill of Kesarval at Cortlalim. This is happening because of the hill cutting that was done by DBL for construction of the new Zuari Bridge. Due to incessant rain there is a fear that there may be major land slide. There is also a 2000 cubic mtr. water storage tank  at the edge of the hill that can collapse. If this happens there can be major casualties. Government must take immediate action in the matter by constructing a retaining wall to prevent erosion.
