Goencho Awaaz will place the demand to scrap PDAs and denotify ODPs and to keep RP 2021 in abeyance with permissions only to family dwellings, village schools and hospitals in Goa
“The people empowered with proper data of Goa will prepare the Regional Plan, which will be a plan for Golden Goa,” said activist Abhijit Prabhudessai.
Capt Viriato Fernandes of the Goencho Awaaz claimed to expose the elected representatives, who have allegedly “looted” the state of its land and alleged that there are forest, comunidade, open spaces and green lands taken by representatives.
“The list of the elected representatives of Goa, which we are harping on, is a compilation of the complaints of thousands of people from villages against the persons, whose names have been added to tracks of lands converted,” he claimed.
