MARGAO, JULY 25
The Paroda gram sabha on Sunday strongly opposed a mega housing project proposed at Karalem area of the village.
At the Sunday gram sabha meeting, gram sabha members opposed the mega housing project on grounds that the village has no garbage disposal facility and other infrastructure facilities.
Members of the gram sabha also objected to the open air hall proposed at Karalem on grounds that the project would disturb the peaceful environment in the area.
On the mega housing project, the gram sabha passed a resolution that the Panchayat should not entertain any files for multi-dwelling units in view of the poor infrastructure, especially relating to garbage disposal.
Sarpanch Sharmila Vaz informed that the Panchayat body would fully support the views expressed at the gram sabha meeting. She said the Panchayat would not approve any file pertaining to mega housing projects. She pointed out that the Panchayat had returned the file from the builder, who has put in a plan to build 20 flats and 16 shop.
