VASCO
In a bid to boost tourism in Vasco, boating activity is being planned at the Maimollem Lake in Vasco.
The plans were revealed on Thursday after Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte and Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar jointly inspected the lake on Thursday evening.
Speaking to media persons, Khaunte said Salkar had plans to boost tourism activities in Vasco and also use the tourism sector to generate employment for locals.
"We have seen the Maimollem Lake and his plans of boating are great and will definitely boost tourism and this also complements the plans we have for tourism in the State," said Khaunte.
Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar said the area of Maimollem was earlier a field and later turned into a lake.
“We want to maintain this lake and develop the island right in the centre of the lake. We can also have a nice boating activity in the lake and beautify the periphery of the lake and make seating arrangements so that senior citizens can also use the area.”
“This Maimollem lake is a unique place by itself and can be developed. We will soon take this up with stakeholders, including the comunidade, and complete this dream project," said Salkar.
