MARGAO
Madganvcho Awaaz has demanded that the government release a White Paper on Panaji’s Smart City failures before taking up Margao under Smart City project.
Convenor Prabhav Naik said the public deserves to know the real cost in crores, in lives, and in dignity before Margao is dragged down the same path. “Our city deserves better. And our people will not remain silent, warned Naik.
Saying that Margao doesn’t need cosmetic projects, Prabhav Naik said the city needs structural repairs, functional infrastructure, transparent governance, and above all, a voice for the people. “What we are being offered is not development. It is the duplication of disaster”, he said.
He added: “And now, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant declares Margao will be developed next. Is this a reward or a warning? Are we to endure the same fate just because a defector MLA is desperate to justify his betrayal with ribbon cutting and public relations stunts”.
