Calangute MLA Michael Lobo, Sarpanch of Parra Delilah Lobo, Parish Priest Fr Alex D’Souza, Dr Rufino Monteiro, in-charge of the centre, Maria Georgina Souza e Costa, Panchayat members of Parra and others were present. The Health Care Centre has been named as Graca Costa Poly Clinic.
Addressing the gathering Adv D’Souza said, “The landlady Maria Georgina Souza e Costa and the MLA of Calangute Michael Lobo deserves credit for the health care centre as Souza e Costa donated the land while Lobo took the initiative to bring up the centre. It is a good initiative of the MLA of Calangute who chose to secure health of the Parra villagers and others. It is now for the people to avail the facilities and not to misuse it. As far as developments are concerned, Lobo has no patience to wait for government funds and carry out the development but he would rather prefer to do the same with the support and co-operation of the villagers. We need MLAs of Michael Lobo’s calibre for all-round development of Goa,” he said.
Michael Lobo said, “I had two priorities for constituents of Calangute before I could even become the MLA of Calangute – education and health. I am happy that both the priorities are taking shape in the constituency I represent and thank people for the support and co-operation.”
Franky Viegas, social worker said that Lobo has changed the face of Calangute constituency at a faster rate than any other MLA, with good developmental projects and hoped for similar development in the future.
