PANJIM: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said since the government has scrapped the IIT project at Melauli, it should now transfer the land in the name of the cultivators.
Speaking to media persons Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Adv Surel Tilve said, “As Goa has the land to the tiller act in force the land ought to be transferred in the name of the tiller which has not happened as yet and instead the government has become the land owner.”
He demanded that the government draft a proper notice giving all the details about the new land where the IIT is proposed to be set up and added that the Chief Minister had promised to set up a committee to decide on the IIT which has not yet been constituted.
“The chief minister should name the local stakeholders in the committee as and when it is constituted including social activists from the area,” he said.
“Only such a broad committee would ensure that there are no hassles once the new spot is decided,” he added.
