Addressing media persons, Parsekar said that the 38 projects include the two marinas that have been granted ‘in principle’ approval. “We have allowed marinas with the condition that they should get all the required clearances,” the Chief Minister said. The investment proposals which have been cleared include investments in the pharma, manufacturing and tourism sectors.
Parsekar was speaking in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Francis D’Souza, on the completion of six months of his government. Parsekar took over as chief minister on November 8, 2014 after then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was shifted to Delhi as the Union Defence Minister.
Speaking further, the Chief Minister said that all 38 investment proposals are pollution-free industries and job creating units for locals. “While according permission, government has made it mandatory that the industries should have at least 80 per cent of its total employees from Goa,” he said.
