Roy Naik releases poll manifesto

VALPOI
Congress candidate for Valpoi by-poll Roy Naik recently released his election manifesto, which assures to provide higher education facilities in the area, tackle garbage and improve the road and telecom networks, while also providing employment facilities in Valpoi constituency.
"People from Valpoi constituency do not have higher education facilities and political leaders have neglected this constituency in the education sector even though Sattari taluka dominated the political field for over 20 years. Why isn't there a single college in the town," asked Naik, while speaking to The Goan.
"People have to travel almost 18 kms from Valpoi to Sakhali, which is part of Bicholim taluka. Some do not even get admission to higher classes. I will definitely work to set up higher education facilities at Valpoi town to facilitate students from Sattari taluka," assured Naik.
Commenting on the garbage issue, Naik said a garbage disposal plant was set up in Valpoi town, but was not in operation despite spending vast sums of money.
"Operations at the plant should be monitored by the local MLA, but it was not done. Valpoi town should be free from garbage, but due to many reasons, tackling garbage has not been seriously pursued in the town."
"I will see that this garbage plant is operated with sufficient infrastructure and that, special manpower is allotted to the Valpoi Municipal Council to sort out the garbage issue," Naik added.
He also claimed that the poor road connectivity had affected development of
many villages in Valpoi constituency.
