Following lack of response from the MLAs, the Goa Legislative Assembly has cancelled the proposed five-day study tour to Leh Ladakh, scheduled from September 6.
Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar had proposed the Study tour for the MLAs including Ministers to Leh Ladakh and those MLAs wishing to be part of the study tour were asked to convey their willingness by August 31.
Speaking to The Goan, Tawadkar said that none of the MLAs showed interest in the tour and hence we decided to cancel it for now.
“Every MLA had some prior scheduled appointments, meetings and other work. We got no reply from the MLAs,” he said.
The study tour had been proposed so that legislators could visit different places in Leh, Ladakh in order to study the environment and development of tourism and other related sectors.
The tour was supposed to conclude on September 10.
It may be recalled that a similar study tour was organised in February this year, to study the Suprasashan system in Gujarat, where nine MLAs had participated.
Leader of the Opposition Yuri Alemao and Goa Forward party MLA Vijai Sardesai had refused to be a part of the tour.
