PANAJI: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant today said the state government will only use Goa on its legislations as cabinet has given approval to drop the reference of Daman and Diu.
“Cabinet has granted approval to drop reference of Daman and Diu on all state legislations,’ said CM Sawant
Sawant said even though Daman and Diu were separated from Goa 35 years ago in 1987, we use Goa, Daman and Diu in all our laws, land revenue codes and other legislations.
“Goa became a state in 1987,” he said and added that most of the laws enacted in the assembly belong to Goa and not Daman and Diu.
Goa liberated on 19th December, 1961 from Portuguese; became a part of the U.T. of Goa, Daman and Diu under Government of India. After Statehood of Goa on 30th May, 1987, Daman and Diu became a separate U.T.
