When will Goans wake-up

A rule exists in Goa that if there is 100 sq metre land and you want to construct a building you can build only on 40 sq metres and leave 60 metres as open space. When a builder prepares to build a building a clear plan is placed before the authorities. This plan is approved by the concern authority and a building is constructed. A rosy building is drawn before the public who are enticed to buy the same. Our Goans have one habit and that is they only look at the flat which is the best and they do not give much attention to other things such as enough empty space , parking space etc. Today if we glance at the map of Mapuca in reality and in which ever directions you want to go one finds that the builder has built in 100 percent of the land and there is no inch of land left to park even a cycle etc. No one either the builder nor the occupants are bothered to form a co operative society and many of them do not even stay in the flat for a single day. In some cases in Mapuca buildings are built in steep slope that one cannot even walk steadily. Most of the cases occupancy certificate is given even without checking the building. Some builders collect deposit money from flat owners in view of forming a society for which additional amount is also collected and neither the society is formed nor the deposit money given back for years together and many times after a period of ten-fifteen years the builder forcibly takes more deposits. Goans are really sucegad people. They will grumble and grumble and curse the builder but they will not approach the district or state consumer’s court or any civil court because Goans have a phobia, that is it takes lot of time to fight a case in the court and so they prefer to make the builder rich. 

98 % of buildings in Mapuca have no society for more than 30 years and some of the buildings are gone so old and no one bothers to repair them as they have no society who will do the job. 98% of the flat owners in Mapuca use the road 

to park their cars. How did the Mapuca Municipality issue occupancy certificate or how did Town Planning department or any other department give the licences. I myself do not know. As long as Goans and with them now the non-Goans too go sucegad, Mapuca town will look like a bus repairing workshop because where people have to park their vehicles shopkeepers use their force and keep their things even after the High Court has passed an order that footpaths should be left open.It is high time Govt of Goa should make it compulsory that before the occupancy certificate is issued the buyer along with the Municipality officers should have joint inspection of the building at least three times before occupancy certificate and occupancy certificate should proceed with no objection certificate from each flat owner.
