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 bring to the attention of the House that the local fishing community from Cortalim take big risks while working at Cortalim Fishing Jetty and Fish mending shed. The Jetty which was built many years back is neglected by Fishing department and it is in very bad condition. Old trawlers are grounded around the jetty which is dangerous. Requesting the Government to repair the fishing Jetty at Cortalim and repair the shed immediately.

ZERO HOUR

The Market Complex was built some years back by GSIDC  to shift the fisherwomen selling fish on the road and other shops. But no action has been taken by the government to inaugurate the Market Complex. It is in very bad shape with all the doors, windows, steel items,etc. missing. There is traffic jam at the Birla junction because the fish is sold on the road and some temporary shops are also causing traffic issues.

Requesting the Government to kindly repair the Market Complex and inaugurate it immediately

There is fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Cortalim Constituency because there is shortage of police personnel at Verna Police Station.  As per records there is a shortage of about 40 police personnel. Cortalim Constituency is very sensitive with areas of Birla &  Verna Industrial area .

Requesting the government to kindly fill the vacancies  at Verna Police Station at the earliest.

Velsao Beach in Cortalim Constituency is a beautiful beach in South Goa wherein several people are visiting this beach.

but there are no toilet facilities for the people specially the tourists, no security guards and no proper lights which gives rise to safety and security issues. Local fishermen also has requested for facilities to park their canoes on the Beach. Government may kindly provide High masts, toilets and tourism guards at Velsoa beach

Zero Hour

There is fear and anxiety amongst the people because the  MDR Road from Queenynagar to MES College junction is in a very bad state. There are pot holes and cracks. The commuters find it very difficult to commute on that road. Many accidents have occurred there. For the last many years this road was in bad condition during the monsoon every time it is repaired. Many times this issue is highlighted in the Press and Social media. Requesting the government to kindly depute officials immediately to inspect this road and come with a permanent solution. This bad road condition should not happen during every monsoon.
