The
Goa Bachao Abhiyan has urged Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and Deputy Chief
Minister Francisco D’Souza not to open the Goa Regional Plan 2021 only for MLAs
but to work for the interest of the people and the environment.
In
the absence of a clear plan, the body has said land filling, violations of
Coastal Regulation Zone norms and deforestation are taking place. The
controversy over the regional plan continues with opposition to the plan being
opened for MLAs.
“The
GBA is shocked at how the government is releasing contradictory statements on
the plan. The latest talks are about taking only MLAs into confidence to
rectify the errors being pointed out by the people,” said Sabina Martins of Goa
Bachao Abhiyan here recently.
She
pointed out that the plan was in public discussion for four years and has set
guidelines. This was an exercise done as opposed to the ‘closed door’ exercise
where the land-use plan was sold to the highest bidder in the case of the 2011
regional plan. The plan had to be scrapped by the then Congress government
after an agitation by the body. The body also recalled that comments and
suggestions were filed and tabulated after the last notification, with disputes
being given a structured hearing. This was stopped during the 2012 Legislative
Assembly elections and never restarted.
“Today,
five years after the notification of the regional plan 2021, efforts have not
been made to collate this base data,” they said.
