Water Resources Minister Dayanand Mandrekar has said the State government was planning to take up development in a big way and sought cooperation from all stakeholders in ushering progress in the State.
“Local bodies like the communidades and panchayats have to be partners of the government to usher in development in the State. Only if we cooperate and work together will the State and the country move ahead and achieve the desired growth,” Mandrekar said while laying foundation stone for a waterfall beautification project in Pirna in the presence of local MLA Kiran Kandolkar.
The beautification work of the waterfall will be carried out at an estimated cost of Rs 66.51 lakh.
The project work includes improvement of the waterfall, de-silting of the stream along with beautification of the area, which will be taken up by the Water Resource Department.
Complementing the local legislator Kiran Kandolkar for taking interest in developing the constituency, the WRD minister said various other works worth over Rs 5 crore were underway in Tivim and sought public support to help the work to come to fruition.
Chairman of Goa State Horticulture Corporation Ltd and Tivim MLA Kiran Kandolkar said the government had taken up various development works in Tivim.
“Widening of roads, construction of panchayat ghar, work on football ground and several other developmental projects have been taken up by the government in the constituency,” Kandolkar said.
He said the government was also toying with the idea of setting up a hospital in Tivim.
Zilla Parishad members Govind Kubal and Diksha Kandolkar and Pirna Sarpanch Gopal Naik were present on the occasion.
