I call the attention of the Hon’ble Minister for Revenue and Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture to the grave injustice being caused to the farmers of Khanzanwada, Velling Village, Priol Constituency, who are being unlawfully denied access to their agricultural lands bearing Survey Nos. 68/1 to 74/2, which they have been cultivating for generations even before the Portugues era  and which now constitute their sole means of livelihood.
The said agricultural lands have become land-locked due to the obstruction and denial of access by the owner of the adjoining property, who has blocked the traditional pathway passing through Survey Nos. 68/1 to 74/1. This pathway has been continuously, openly, and peaceably used by the farmers since time immemorial and even after the introduction of survey records, without interruption or dispute.
It is respectfully submitted that the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968, particularly Section 58 and allied provisions, explicitly recognises the right of owners and occupants of land-locked properties to obtain reasonable and lawful access through adjoining lands. The Code further empowers the Revenue Authorities to ensure that such access is provided so that agricultural lands are not rendered unproductive or unusable.
The obstruction of a long-standing and customary access pathway, especially when it is essential for agricultural operations, is contrary to the spirit and mandate of the Goa Land Revenue Code, which seeks to protect agricultural use, prevent land from becoming sterile, and safeguard the livelihood of farmers.
The access sought by the farmers is confined to barely 500 square metres, out of several lakhs of square metres of the adjoining land. Granting such access is reasonable, proportionate, and legally permissible, and would not cause any substantial prejudice to the landowner. On the other hand, denial of this minimal access has resulted in serious hardship, as farmers are unable to take tractors and modern agricultural machinery to their fields, are forced to rely on outdated manual methods, suffer loss of productivity, and face increasing economic distress.
The continued denial of lawful access has created fear, insecurity, and uncertainty among the farming community, who now face the real and imminent threat of losing their ancestral occupation and livelihood due to the effective land-locking of their agricultural holdings.

I therefore request the Hon’ble Minister for Revenue and Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture to state:
1. Whether the Government acknowledges that the agricultural lands bearing Survey Nos. 68/1 to 74/2 are land-locked and that providing access is mandatory under Section 58 and allied provisions of the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968;
2. Whether the Government will direct the concerned Revenue Authorities to restore and protect the traditional access pathway used by the farmers in accordance with law; and
3. The immediate steps proposed to ensure justice to the affected farmers, uphold statutory protections under the Goa Land Revenue Code, and prevent the loss of agricultural livelihood in the said area.
Given the magnitude of the suffering of innocent farmers, this issue warrants immediate attention and time-bound action.

Fear, anxiety, and confusion grip the minds of Bicholim\'s people regarding the snail-paced and lethargic work on the Bicholim Bus Stand. The construction of the Bicholim Bus Stand commenced in April 2022.

We had thought—and had been promised—that the project would be completed within two years, as stated in the work order. Hence, we offered no suggestions for changes to the original design or structural reforms. We understand that governance is a continuous process, so we have extended our full cooperation and patiently awaited its completion.

In 2023, we raised a question in the Hon\'ble Goa Legislative Assembly about the slow progress, as work on the project had halted entirely for several months. We repeatedly highlighted the delays during zero-hour sessions and conducted multiple joint inspections. Despite my best efforts to make the department proactive, I am deeply saddened that it is now the third year, and the project remains only approximately 70% complete, with substantial work still pending.

These are essential public utility projects that demand immediate action, efficient financial support, and proactive construction techniques—to deliver the promised utility to people who have placed their trust and confidence in the government.

The people of my constituency have suffered immensely. They endure a tin-sheet-protected shelter in scorching sun and relentless rain; shop owners run their businesses from tiny, makeshift setups while half-baked in the heat; and buses, regular commuters, and students using the facility have faced ongoing hardship.

My sincere request to the Government: There has already been far too much delay in constructing the Bus Stand. I urge the Government to immediately engage additional workforce to significantly boost efficiency and expedite completion.

Attention of the house is drawn to the fact that subsidy to farmers whose fields were damaged due to rains has still not been disbursed and the farmers are eagerly waiting for the immediate release of the subsidy. The steps the Government intends to take in this regard.

:

The attention of the house is drawn with regards to Sub Health Centre Merces in Merces Village of St. Cruz Constituency. The Sub Health Centre Merces sees above 150 patients on a daily basis & due to the same additional staff is required. What plan does the Govt. have to resolve the same? 

I wish to highlight the growing fear and anxiety among the residents of Juvem Nadora due to the slow progress of the new bridge. Sir, it is alarming that even the designing has not started as CRZ and Pollution Control Board NOCs are still pending.
People depend on the existing bridge daily for emergencies, school and work, and its condition is a serious risk, especially during monsoon. This delay is putting lives in danger.
Through you, Sir, I urge the Government to fast-track all clearances, start the design immediately, and give a clear timeline for construction.
