Goa Legislative Assembly

“This House resolves that the Government frames a comprehensive Scientific Flood and Mitigation Strategy taking into view the impact of climate change that causes erratic and intensive rainfall patterns resulting in persistent flooding in many parts of the State.”

“This House unanimously resolves to urge the Government to establish special family Courts for each Taluka in view of huge pendency of cases in Civil Courts.”

“This House strongly recommends the Government to take immediate steps to revive the de-funct Communidades in South Goa. Communidade is a rich legacy of Goa and has to be preserved to safeguard our land and to stop illegal encroachments. The communidades which have not had any meetings or do not have a functioning committee should be assigned to a designated Administrative Officer and the same should be revived immediately.”

“Attention of the House is drawn to the concerns regarding the safety of Goans working in Gulf countries in view of the ongoing conflict and rising tensions in the West Asian region. A large number of people from Goa are employed in countries such as United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the prevailing war situation in the region has caused anxiety among their families in the State. India imports a large portion of its crude oil and LPG from the Middle East. Any disruption in supply chains may result in shortage of LPG cylinders and a sharp rise in fuel prices including petrol and diesel. Further Goa’s economy is closely linked to maritime trade and exports. This situation in the Gulf region could also affect shipping routes, trade flows and exports from Goa, thereby impacting local industries and employment. The steps the Government of Goa has taken to co-ordinate with the Government of India, particularly the Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassies in Gulf countries, to obtain updated information regarding the safety of Goan Nationals working in the region”.

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of people of Goa regarding, the recent forest fires breaking out in various forests of Goa from Canacona to Sattari and Mhadei wildlife sanctuary. There are mountainous forest areas which are un-accessible to fire fighters, where fire trucks cannot reach to douse forest fires. It becomes very difficult for fire fighters to control fires in such un-accessible forest areas as a result fire spread out in uncontrolled way and this results in delays in putting out the fire. Government may provide the steps it intends to take in setting up any plans /solution in this regards which will enable fire fighters to reach out those fire affected forest areas which are beyond access of roads where fire trucks cannot reach, to combat forest fires. The Steps of the Government to remedy the Situation.”

Fear and anxiety in the minds of people travelling along Margao- Navelim western bypass during night time.As street lights along this western bypass are non functional since the inauguration of this bypass. During night time this stretch of highway has become accident prone zone. I request govt to make functional the non working street lights along Margao western bypass.

Fear and anxiety in the minds of people of salcete Takula. As there is only one single fire station at Aquem,Margao in Salcete Taluka, that caters emergency services to seven assembly constituencies.  It becomes very difficult in simultaneously attending multiple locations during various emergency conditions like fire incidents or in clearing uprooted/fallen trees.The Nessai Industrial estate can be considered in setting up new Industrial fire station which would be beneficial for swift action in providing emergencies services across salcete taluka.

I would like to bring to the notice of the govt. that there is no benefit of pension, Maternity leave to the home guards that are working in Goa since last more than 15 years.

Also there is no payment of the non working Sundays given to the home guards.

After death of the on duty Home guard staff, compensation of Rs10 thousand only is given to their family members

I request govt. to provide these benefits to home guards and increase the on duty death compensation amount

 would like to bring to the notice of govt that, there are 5 Village panchayats in Navelim constituency.
Village panchayats collects wet waste from households buf panchayat does not have land for disposing this waste .

I request govt to allow the treatment of wet waste generated in Navelim constituency at Cacora waste treatment plant.
 

Attention of the House is drawn I would like to bring to the notice of the govt. that there are no speed breakers and sign boards along the service roads at various under-passes of western bypass at Navelim salcete

I request govt. (PWD WD14 NH) to provide required speed breakers and sign boards along these service roads at various under-passes of western bypass (NH66) at Navelim salcete, so as to avoid/ minimise the road accidents
