MARGAO: Nationalist Congress Party MLA Churchill Alemao on Tuesday assured Carmona villagers and panchayat all help to get the sports complex constructed in Carmona and also to develop the football ground.
It may be recalled that villagers at the gram sabha held on March 11 had urged the panchayat to seek the help of local MLA in getting both these sports related projects. It was pointed out that the Goa State Industrial Development Corporation was given the task of constructing the sports complex which would have a badminton and tennis court.
Subsequently, at the panchayat meeting held on April 5 following a motion moved by member Allwyn Jorge, the panchayat decided to call on the local MLA and seek his help in getting these two projects completed.
Accordingly, all seven panchayat members along with some villagers called on Churchill Alemao at his office at Varca and the MLA in turn has assured them that he would take up the matter with the sports minister and get the works sanctioned.
Churchill has agreed to take up the work of the football ground at Ankur Luis under the Benaulim Constituency Development Programme and the to follow up with the GSIDC to take up the work of Carmona Panchayat Sports Upgradation project under the Panchayat Raj Infrastructure Development (Golden Jubilee) Scheme.
It may be recalled that the Carmona Panchayat was considered to be against Churchill and the latter had even publicly stated that Carmona Panchayat was with the Aam Aadmi Party and not with him while he claimed the support of the other panchayats in the constituency.
