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 thank the Hon\'ble Chief Minister of Goa and the Hon\'ble Social Welfare Minister for re-starting the Mukhyamantri Dev Darshan Yatra Yojana sending the devotees to Vailankanni by a special train on 9th January,2026. All the arrangements were made nicely and the devotees were very happy and satisfied. But only 450 devotees went to Vailankanni though the arrangements were made for 1200 devotees. This may be because no sufficient time was given to the devotees to plan and make arrangements to travel because only 3 days notice was given. It is requested that another journey be organised under the Dev Darshan Yatra with sufficient advance notice to enable the devotes to make proper arrangements to travel for pilgrimage to Vailankanni

There is anxiety amongst the ST Community of Goa because the Central Government has approved reservation for ST Community for the Goa Legislative Assembly Elections but the Goa State government has not taken any further action as yet. There has been a demand by the ST Community to reserve seats for the Legislative Assembly Elections for the last many years . Will this wish of the ST Community be fulfilled ? Will the Government take action at the earliest ?  Will the seats  be reserved for  ST community  at the next   Goa State  Assembly Elections in 2027 ?

There is a fear and anxiety amongst the people of Quelossim,  Loutolim and Kesarval that once the fly-over from Toyota-Sharayu to Verna is constructed there will be no access through Toyota-Sharayu junction and Kesarval juncton for the people to come via Durbhat and Adpai ferry  to work at Verna Industrial Estate and go back home. The people of Loutolim, Quelossim, Velvaddo will find difficulty in travelling to Verna and further destinations. Also there will be hardships/inconveniences for residents of Kesarval area, guests to Kesarval Hotel and Kesarval Spring without access to the internal roads. It is requested that under- passes may kindly be constructed at the above mentioned sites to enable the public to utilise these internal roads to travel in the shortest possible distances.

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
