The Nachinola gram sabha convened on Sunday, where villagers unanimously resolved to include Nachinola and Moira villages in the Aldona segment for Zilla Panchayat (ZP) elections.
Currently, both villages are part of the Sirsaim segment.
This significant resolution aims to address concerns about development works and fund allocation.
The resolution was proposed by local resident Amit and discussed under the chairmanship of Sarpanch Freddy Fernandes.
Presently, the Sirsaim segment for ZP elections encompasses Nachinola, Moira, Sirsaim, and Tivim panchayats.
During the discussion, Amit highlighted that the development of Nachinola and Moira panchayats has been neglected, attributing this to the current segmentation.
“It is crucial that both Nachinola and Moira are included in Aldona while reorganizing the constituency as the two panchayats are deprived of ZP funds,” Amit stated.
He emphasized that inclusion in the Aldona segment would ensure fair distribution of development funds and better representation.
The gram sabha resolved to forward a copy of the resolution to the State Election Commission and the State government.
It was also suggested that the Moira panchayat should pass a similar resolution to bolster the proposal.
In addition to the reorganization discussion, other matters were addressed at the gram sabha.
It was noted that during the previous meeting, Aldona MLA Carlos Ferreira had planned to inspect the Ganesh Visarjan site at the village pond.
However, due to the MLA's commitments in the ongoing assembly session, the inspection will be rescheduled to his convenience.
The sarpanch informed that the Aldona sarpanch and the related comunidade would also be present during the inspection.
Further, the gram sabha decided to honour local athletes Rashal D'Souza and Heramb Mavalankar for their achievements in sports.
The felicitation ceremony is scheduled for August 15, recognizing their contributions and successes.
The resolution and discussions at the Nachinola gram sabha reflect the community's proactive approach to addressing development issues and ensuring fair representation in the Zilla Panchayat elections.
