OLD GOA: Even as the Curca gram sabha resolved to oppose the Nauxim marina project, the Santa Cruz and Azossim-Mandur gram sabhas also passed resolutions opposing the project.
At the Santa Cruz gram sabha, Licio Roncon raised the issue of the marina and informed that one of the wards of the panchayat, namely Cacra, will be adversely affected by the project. “The Cacra ward is a fishermen locality, and their livelihood will be severely affected if the project is approved,” Roncon pointed out.
Later, a resolution was moved opposing the Nauxim marina project.
At Azossim-Mandur, Prof Ramrao Wagh raised the issue and also highlighted how it would have an adverse effect on the local fishermen along the entire Zuari Bay.
“The project will affect not only the Nauxim locality but all the villages located along the Zuari Bay,” Wagh added, and later moved a resolution opposing the marina project, which was unanimously passed.
