PONDA: Power Minister Sudin Dhavlikar today supported the initiative of Ponda MLA and Agriculture Minister Ravi Naik to set up the third district in Ponda Taluka.
Sudin Dhavlikar was speaking after launching the new 220 KVA transformer at Bandora.
Sudin even suggested to Minister Ravi Naik that he should set up the third district office on land owned by the Transport Department located near KTC Bus Stand Ponda, spread over around 92000 square metres area. He said this land was acquired by the transport department when he was Transport Minister.
He said all the government offices required for the third district need vast land, and it can be set up in this vast area owned by Transport Department.
He even appreciated Ravi Naik for his effort to set up the third district and urged other Ministers in Taluka to support the initiative for the third district.
It may be recalled that Ravi Naik has planned the third district to facilitate people from remote areas of surrounding Taluka like Dharbandora, part of Sakhalin and Ponda Taluka so that they are not forced to travel to South Goa and North Goa for their official work.
