I was shocked to see the Comunidade of Serula of Bardez taluka putting up a plot on survey no 362/1 for lease auction bidding to a person, who is definitely not of Goan origin. The comunidade land system is a unique legacy of land rights/management for Goans and is vital for Goan heritage and related preservation. With passing of such prized land to people not of Goan origin; is this not detrimental to Goan and its identity. With an all out assault on Goan scarce land by real estate entities from outside Goa helped by a highly compromised/corrupt BJP Goa government, we expect at least the comunidades to help in the preservation and proper use of Goa’s land for Goan interests. Can I please requests the gaunkars of Serula comunidade to ensure where required this land can only be leased to Goans or community projects for Goa’s interests. All gaunkars/comunidades in Goa are also requested to do the same.
