PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that Kannadiga families who lost their homes as a result of the demolition drive in several areas of Goa will receive proper rehabilitation from his government.
“The relief efforts have already begun. But by themselves, the demolitions weren’t an executive activity. According to a court order, they were completed,” said Sawant
He further said that he had taken note of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s request for the Goa government to assist the impacted families.
“His social media posts are visible to me. But he hasn’t given me a call yet,” Sawant stated
A total of 22 houses built illegally on land owned by the local communidade at Sangolda village in North Goa district were demolished by the authorities on Friday and Saturday.
Siddaramaiah in a post said, “Deeply concerned by the demolition of homes belonging to Kannadigas in Sangolda, Goa. I appeal to the Chief Minister of Goa, Dr Pramod Sawant, to cease further demolitions immediately until alternatives are provided, and ensure all displaced individuals receive adequate rehabilitation.”
He shared the media reports and pictures of the demolition in his post and said, “It’s crucial we uphold the dignity and stability of every affected family.
