Even as the tourism season has already begun officially in the State, the All-Goa Private Property Shacks and Huts Owners Association (AGPPSHOA) has demanded early implementation of the Single Window System for issuance of seasonal permits and licences.
The AGPPSHOA with several of its associate members called on Speaker and Canacona MLA Ramesh Tawadkar and put forth their grievances, including the difficulties and cumbersome procedures to obtain permits and licences for the ensuing tourism season.
“It was basically our interaction with the speaker, where we highlighted our grievances and difficulties we face in commencing our season, particularly to obtain seasonal permits to commence our seasonal trade. We requested the speaker to hasten the Single Window System, and also persuade upon local bodies not to delay but consider our applications for issuances of licences and permits,” AGPPSHOA President Dharmesh Saglani said.
Incidentally, while many tourism stakeholders submitted their files with necessary NOCs to the local bodies concerned, almost all local bodies have not processed the same.
Tawadkar is learnt to have assured the stakeholders to resolve their problems and difficulties listed out to him or brought to his notice.
Those present at the meeting included Suraj Naikgaunkar, Pankaj Naikgaunkar, Nilesh Pagui, Armand Cardoso, Gaurav Bhagat, Sonam Pagui and Sanju Pagui.
