Revolutionary Goans condemn the State Cabinets decision to facilitate issuing of house numbers to unauthorised structures purely for taxation purpose by amending the Goa Panchayati Raj Act.
According to a press note, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had said, “A bill to amend the Goa Panchayati Raj will be introduced during the Assembly sessions starting next week wherein it has been proposed to issue house numbers to all unauthorised houses for the purpose of collecting house tax.”
In reply to this move the RG chief, Manoj Parab said that this is being done to help the migrants who have encroached our lands illegally.
“They are planning to allot house numbers so that the structures of these migrants will become legal. This will only encourage more migrants to come to Goa and grab our land. If there are any amendments made then it should be applicable only to persons of Goan origin and not the migrants from other states,” Manoj stated in the press note.
