Goa Legislative Assembly

“This House strongly resolves the Government to formulate a Heritage Conservation Policy. Goa has got 51 notified structures under the State Archaeology Department and close to 430 additional monuments and structures with immense heritage value, the State Government is yet to put in place a ‘Heritage Conservation Policy’ to conserve and preserve these architectural monuments”.

“The House strongly recommends the Government to take serious cognizance of the high unemployment rate in the State of Goa and initiate necessary steps to provide industry-demand based job skills to at least 20,000 unemployed youth in the next two financial years under Skill Development Mission and ensure that Goan candidates are preferred in private sector jobs in the State.”

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of Scheduled Tribe Community due to lethargic approach of the Government to provide political reservations to Scheduled Tribes in Goa. The Government must take immediate steps to provide political reservation to Scheduled Tribes of Goa. It is observed that despite Goa having 12.5% Scheduled Tribes population, they are being deprived their Constitutional Right of Reservation of Seats in Goa Legislative Assembly. The steps the Government intends to undertake/has undertaken  in this regard and also to ensure that the Election Commission of India notifies Constituencies for Scheduled Tribes in Goa.”

“Fear and anxiety in the mind of parents of candidates who aspire for taking admission for Engineering Colleges in Goa by answering the entrance test as government has abolished the GCET exam from 2023-24 and instead adopted JEE mains for granting admission for such programmes. The level of examination of JEE is not suitable for the type of curriculum that has been adopted by Goa Board and hence this step will result in rampant rise in coaching classes that charge exorbitantly. The steps the Government will take to ensure that poor students will not suffer and lose an opportunity to secure admission to local Engineering colleges”.

“Fear and Anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa with regard to road access to their houses. There are thousands of houses in Goa which do not have motorable road access and instead use the traditional (kaccha) road access through private property.  The survey department failed to show access to many properties on the survey maps.  This has resulted in an increase in conflict in the villages where landlords have been blocking road access to the affected people's homes by constructing compound walls. As a result, it is almost impossible for emergency services to access such houses in case of an accident or weather-related disaster. The steps the Government has taken to initiate a State-wide exercise to identify such landlocked properties and modify the survey maps to reflect existing access to such plots”.

 "fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa, especially those dependent on the Tourism, Music and Entertainment Industry, with regards to the negative impact on Goan Culture, Social Events, Religious festivals, weddings, family functions and Goan Tourism Industry as a result of the ban on playing amplified music beyond 10 00 PM”. The steps the Government will take in this matter”.

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of people because of the delay in finalizing the Coastal Zone Management Plan, particularly the identification of sand dunes, and the impact it will have on local fishing activity, trade and environment. Steps the Government intends to take in this regards.”

It is a matter of concern for all Goans and specially aspiring candidates of various officer level government civil and other services that Mr Jose Manuel Noronha has tendered his resignation as Chairman of Goa Public Service Commision(GPSC). In his entire career as a chairman of GPSC, Mr Jose Manuel Noronha has created an impeccable image of a authority with honesty, sincerity and integrity. The various reforms that he has brought in the recruitment process of GPSC is worthy of congratulations. It is a matter of fear and anxiety in the minds of Goan youth who wish to see the selection process of GPSC to be transparent and impartial that Mr Noronha has resigned. I request government to ensure that persons with similar integrity and strong love towards Goa be appointed on this post to restore the faith in the selection process and to provide capable officials for serving the state of Goa.

The ongoing discharge of sewage in open fields in Ramnagri is causing fear and anxiety among the residents of San Jose De Areal and environmentalists. This continuous discharge not only poses a health hazard but also results in environmental pollution and degradation.
The release of untreated sewage in open fields contaminates the soil, water bodies, and air, leading to the spread of diseases and the destruction of ecosystems. It is concerning that this issue has not been addressed yet, despite its adverse consequences.
I demand that the authorities take immediate action to complete the sewerage line in the area. This infrastructure is essential for treating sewage and preventing its discharge into open fields.
I hope that our demand is heard and that the necessary steps are taken ly to ensure the completion of the sewerage line, alleviating the fears and anxieties of the affected individuals and protecting the environment for future generations.

Fear and anxiety prevailing among the people of San Jose De Areal in Margao Industrial Estate. The dire state of the roads in the industrial estate, specifically the abundance of potholes, has caused great hardship for the residents.
The condition of these roads is not only inconvenient but also dangerous, as it poses risks to the health and safety of the people using them. Pedestrians and drivers alike face constant fear and anxiety while navigating through these dilapidated roads, fearing accidents, vehicle damage, and potential injuries.
I demand that the necessary work on the roads in Margao Industrial Estate be initiated and completed within the next 15 days.
I urge you to provide us with assurances that this matter will be taken seriously and that steps will be taken to ensure proper maintenance of the roads in the future. 
 

Fear and anxiety in the minds of Villagers and Environmental lovers over illegal distribution and misuse of extracted materials  including  sand from ongoing desilting of river sal that is deposited at Ambelim Village  in Velim Constituency. It is also informed that this sand material is mixed in construction grade sand by sand mafia putting at risk the quality of construction of houses of common people. Inquiry in this regard be initiated and culprits may be brought to book.

Fear and anxiety in the mind of public due to shortage and non-availaibility of sand and other construction material in the state due to ban on sand mining and restrictions on transporting them form outside state of Goa.
The general public in particular low income group persons aspiring to build or buy houses/flats are put to financial difficulty to procure the material or have to postpone/abandon their dream of building an affordable house.
Steps government would take to remove this artificial shortage of sand and other materials.
