Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte has said the Porvorim Town Square project is expected to be completed and inaugurated by year-end.
His assurance followed a comprehensive review of the ongoing project with GTDC engineers, consultants and officials from various government departments, including the Public Works Department (PWD), Traffic and Police.
“...we are committed to completing this dream project and inaugurating it by the year-end. Town Square will also reflect Goa's vision of promoting tourism beyond beaches, showcasing the State’s growing infrastructure and unique public spaces...” he said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The review meeting focused on expediting the remaining works, resolving operational requirements and ensuring all essential facilities are in place before the project is opened to the public.
The officials present at the meeting were instructed to adhere strictly to the timelines assigned for their respective works. “... no lapses or delays should occur at any stage of the project. The progress will be closely monitored through regular review meetings to ensure that all works are completed within the stipulated timeframe, with the inauguration targeted by the end of the year,” the minister said.
Spread across 11,000 sq m, the earlier deadline for the completion of around Rs 120 crore project was March 2026.
