PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday outlined a three-pronged governance initiative combining environmental action, housing regularisation, and fiscal tightening measures.
The Chief Minister announced that under the Green Corridor initiative, the state will undertake plantation of 10 lakh saplings along national and state highways between June 5 and September 5. The large-scale drive is aimed at strengthening green cover along major transport corridors across Goa.
In a parallel administrative push, CM Sawant said that orders under the “Mhaje Ghar” scheme will be distributed by June 10 across North and South Goa. He stated that nearly 3,000 clear orders are ready for issuance and that the scheme will be implemented through panchayats to ensure quicker, decentralised delivery and improved accessibility for citizens seeking land regularisation certificates.
Addressing financial prudence, the Chief Minister also confirmed that austerity measures have been enforced in view of the ongoing West Asia conflict. He said the government has issued circulars from time to time and has already suspended official foreign tours as part of cost-control and expenditure rationalisation steps.
The announcements reflect the government’s current focus on environment-driven infrastructure development, faster service delivery in housing regularisation, and tighter fiscal management in response to global geopolitical developments.
