Goa Legislative Assembly

“This House strongly recommends the Government to enact a legislation to vest in itself the excess and unutilised land admeasuring about 17 lakh sq. mtrs. at Sancoale Village in Mormugao Taluka granted to then Birla Gwalior Pvt. Ltd. by the Sancoale Communidade for setting up of fertilizer plant and to utilize it for much needed housing needs of economically weaker sections in Cortalim Constituency and other purposes.”

“There is fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Sancoale Village in Cortalim Constituency because the water which flows in the nullah which originates from Zuarinagar and passing through Sancoale Village and flows in the River Zuari near Cortalim Junction is emanating a very bad and foul smell. The Goa State Pollution Control Board officials inspected the site and took sample of water at 4 different spots and the report proved that the water in the Nullah is polluted and contaminated. The steps of the Government to resolve the same.”

I would like to bring to your urgent attention that it is informed that the Cortalim Jetty is going to be privatized by the Govt. to the Deep Sea Fishing & Marketing Co-op. Society Limited. 

All the people of Cortalim Village are against it and there is strong objection to this. There will be agitation and law and order situation in the village.

 I demand that the govt should not lease out this jetty to any private party.

I would like to bring to your urgent attention that most of the cross drains in Cortalim Constituency are blocked with debris, mud and other material. 

as they are not cleaned for long time. The fields are flooded and even the roads get flooded and damaged. Request the govt. to please issue directions

 immediately to clean the blocked cross drains for free low of water

I would like to bring to your urgent attention that there was a landslide at Cortalim Junction by the side of the road going to Cortalim Jetty yesterday evening. More than 500 mtrs stretch of the hill , the mud has fallen down. People park their two wheelers and catch buses at Cortalim junction. These bikes which were under the debris were removed and they are severely damaged. The mud is still sliding and there is a fear that all the huge trees which are on the hill may slide down and create more damage.Worse situation is at Sontrant hill near Sharayu Toyota Showroom where there is water  storage tank which can slide down on the road. Requesting the govt. to please take immediate action on this land slide maybe constructing a retaining wall.  

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.
