Revenue Minister on Wednesday said changes in the Code of Comunidades recommended by a Commission appointed by the then Laxmikant Parsekar government will be brought for discussion and debate in the upcoming monsoon session of the Goa legislative assembly slated to begin on July 15.
Khaunte said many of the issues plaguing the Communidades in Goa were deliberated by the commission headed by noted lawyer Francis Braganza and a report submitted when wthe late Francis D’Souza was the revenue minister in the previous term of the legislative assembly.
Several of the recommendations included changes in the Code of Communidades which however need the nod of the Goa legislative assembly. The State government will bring these recommended changes before the monsoon session for discussion and debate before amending the Code, Khaunte said.
The Minister however did not go into the specifics of what aspects of the Code the government will seek to alter. The Braganza-led Commission, however, had among other issues deliberated on questions related to dealing with illegal constructions in Communidade jurisdiction and issues concerning land acquisition by the State government.
