“We are not here to demolish any houses; we will give them ownership right along with 500 meters of surrounding land,” he added.
Meanwhile, Sawant said that the foundation stone for the IIT Goa project would be laid within the next six months.
“This government is for the people. We all should get united and work for the IIT. Within the next six months, we can lay the foundation stone; only locals from the area will get opportunities in non-teaching jobs,” he said.

“I request those opposing the project to take a step back and reconsider their stand. We will be laying the foundation stone for the IIT campus after six months,” Sawant said.
