CANACONA
Speaker and Canacona MLA Ramesh Tawadkar said he will ensure top priority is accorded to the long-pending Gaunem dam in Gaondongrim, which has been completed but is yet to be functional.
Tawadkar said the dam project worth Rs 21 crore has the capacity to reach water even upto Kuskem in Cotigao. “There are issues like non-availability of land to lay pipeline and place overhead tanks,” he stated.
Earlier, questions were raised as to how the project was envisaged without even planning the pipeline or canals.
Speaking on the Ravindra Bhavan project, he said financial contraints was the only sole reason as to why it is still pending.
“For the last two and half years the government treasury took a heavy beating and finances have been severely hit,” he added.
