Cuncolim Municipal Chairperson Laximan Naik on Wednesday stated that the incumbent Council has in no way changed the scope of the Cuncolim commercial complex building in the market area.
Addressing the media in the presence of councillors, Naik maintained that though the previous Council in 2008 had initially proposed a rehabilitation building complex in the market area, the same did not find favour with the Urban Development Department since it had no government approval.
“The same Council again in 2008 rectified the resolution by sending a fresh proposal to the State Goa Urban Development Agency (GSUDA) for the construction of a commercial building instead of a rehabilitation building complex in public interest,” he said.
Naik demanded to know in what way the present Council by him is to be blamed if the previous Council in 2008 had rectified the scope of the building from a rehabilitation building to a commercial complex building. Saying that the Council has forwarded the request of the traders to rehabilitate them on the ground floor of the commercial complex, Naik said the Council has not received any reply from the Director of Urban Development till date.
