Chief Minister Pramod Sawant made a clear statement on Tuesday. He said the government has not decided on any project for housing board land at Panzorconi in Cuncolim constituency. Sawant emphasized that all stakeholders will be taken into confidence before any project begins there.
Opposition Raises Concerns in Assembly
Opposition leader Yuri Alemao raised the issue during the zero hour in the assembly. He expressed fear and anxiety among local people. This anxiety stems from the revival of a proposal to establish a housing board project at Charam Moddi, Panzorconi.
History of the Land Acquisition
Alemao pointed out that the land was acquired back in the 1990s. However, the project was later scrapped due to strong community resistance. The opposition leader highlighted several critical concerns about reviving this project now.
Potential Impacts on the Community
According to Alemao, this housing project could seriously impact the village's social and cultural fabric. The proposed land currently serves as a ground for different sports activities. Local residents regularly use this space for their recreational needs.
Any major construction project would deprive them of this basic facility. The proposed development also threatens local heritage and the environment. It could disrupt the traditional way of life for people living in this area.
The Chief Minister's assurance comes as a response to these growing concerns. Sawant's statement aims to calm fears while maintaining that proper consultation will precede any decision. The situation remains under watch as stakeholders await further developments.
