 “Attention of the House is drawn as regards to Sao Jose de Areal in Velim constituency  and Neura in St Andre constituency over the recent announcement by central government that 3 new Railway Stations will be set up in Goa at  Mayem, Sao Jose De Areal and Neura. There are already nearby railway stations and hence there is no need for such facilities for passengers. Hence the villagers are speculating that these stations are being set up to handle coal and other polluting materials and these areas may also be supplemented with port connectivity thereby spelling doom for the residents and farmers. Goa government is requested to discuss the matter with Konkan Railway corporation and central government and provide sufficient information about this decision.
