Camurlim gram sabha rejects new project construction file
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, APRIL 18
The Camurlim gram sabha on Sunday has rejected the construction file submitted by an Institute of Management Studies after members raised serious objections to the setting up of the project in the village.
At the gram sabha held on Sunday, gram sabha members demanded to know about the Centre and whether the proposed project would take care of the waste and other issues including the existing roads.
Sarpanch Basil Fernandes informed after the meeting that the gram sabha members were opposed to the issuance of construction license to the ground-plus-one storey building in the village on grounds of garbage and waste disposal, lack of approach roads and the destruction of tree cover.
Meanwhile, the Sarpanch has assured the gram sabha members that he would invite the PWD Minister and other officials for a discussion on the Margao-Borim highway passing through Camurlim village.
At today’s gram sabha, members pointed out that that the highway is being taken into paddy fields even when there is adequate space for the project along the existing highway.
The Sarpanch said that the members felt that the highway should go as per the existing highway and can be aligned to avoid destruction of houses and other structures. “I have assured the gram sabha members to invite the PWD Minister and official for a discussion on the highway”, he added.
