CARMONA: Carmona sarpanch Allwyn Jorge lamented that development proposals such as the Sports Upgradation project under the Deen Dayal scheme, football ground, Community centre/hall, etc are all stuck with Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC) due to lack of political political will.
“The proposal for a football ground (estimated at Rs 8 crores) was put forth to the MLA and the Sports Upgradation project under the Deen Dayal scheme (initially estimated at Rs 1.8 crores) by the GSIDC gathered dust as there were no bidders for the tenders and required revised estimates to be submitted,” said Jorge.
He further claimed that Carmona also lacks a proper fish market where by fish is openly sold in private property. He also pointed out that the roads need repairs, gutters need to be done and all the proposal files being ignored by GSIDC.
When contacted by Herald, the GSIDC officials Dilip Joshi and Paresh Rawat declined to comment on the reasons for the delays of these pending proposals. Despite several attempts, the GSIDC vice chairman Joshua D’Souza was also unavailable for comment.
