Panaji: Members of Goencho Ekvott have expressed displeasure over the Cabinet’s recent decision to grant approval for acquiring additional land at Guirdolim and Sanguem for double-tracking, “despite stiff opposition from locals”. They have demanded that the permits be revoked.
“We’re shocked to learn that the Cabinet has recently granted approval for the acquisition,” said joint secretary of Goencho Ekvott, Olencio Simoes, calling the decision “undemocratic”.
“The CM has overlooked Goan sentiments and Goan demography by merely working as an agent for the crony capitalist of Gujarat rather than as the chief minister of Goa ,” he added.
Simoes said that in May 2020, 60,117sqm was acquired in Majorda, then on July 15 8,104sqm was acquired for the special project connecting Hospet/Hubli/Tinaighat/Vasco da Gama. Now additional land for double-tracking has been acquired for the Kulem to Margao section of South Western railways in Guirdolim and Sanguem.
