All the team members are asked to report the Dy. Collector & SDO, Canacona, at 8. am on Tuesday (18-04-2023).
Meanwhile, after meeting the affected people to show them solidarity and support in Agonda (whose houses are reportedly taken up for demolition), Congress leader Janardhan Bhandar and AAP leader Sandesh Telekar said the Government authorities have planned to hold a demolition drive on 18th April 2023, against 78 houses built on Communidade land in Agonda V.P. area.’ We have visited and seen the plight of these people, and we are accordingly demanding with the chief minister Dr Pramod Sawant to defer demolition against these 78 houses.
Janardhan Bhandari again appealed to Govt. not to run bulldozers on poor people’s houses from Bahujan Samaj & Minority Communities and claimed that these people built houses on communidade land due to scarcity of land and availability of communidade land at a cheaper rate.
Bhandari and Telekar speaking to the media, questioned the logic behind building houses on one side by “Shram Daan” and demolishing the already constructed and existing houses on the other side. Both demanded an amendment in law to legalize/regularize houses of these “NIZ GOENKARS/BHOOMIPUTRA” of Goa..
