CARMONA OUT AGAINST THE RAHEJA CONSTRUCTIONS

A war is going on between M/s K Raheja International who is seeking permission for the construction of bungalows without the compulsory ten meter approach road and the Carmona villagers.
Carmona Goa
The 10-meter wide road norm has assumed significance given that the Town and Country Planning Department had made it categorically clear to the Raheja’s at the time of issuing provisional NOC for sub-division of plots that secondary development of the property would be permitted only after acquiring and developing a 10-meter wide road.
When a provisional NOC was issued to the Real Estate Developer for sub-division of the property, Town Planner Rajesh J. Naik had imposed among other conditions that any secondyar development will be permitted only after acquiring and developing of a ten meters road and shall be governed as per the rules in force. Raheja has completed the work on the sub division of the property and hs approached the Carmona panchayat for the construction licence for the bungalows. Estaquio D’Costa, the Sarpanch of Carmona has declared that the panchayat has carried out the inspection of the property on Friday and would forward Raheja’s plan to the TCP Department for their action further. The sarpanch said that they have conducted the inspection and that it was upto the TCP to decide the outcome
It is upto the TCP department to grant the necessary permission to the Rahejas to go ahead with the construction of the bungalows. Meanwhile PWD Minister Churchill Alemao has put up a note directing his officials to acquire land for widening the current road to a ten meters wide road.
Unnamed sources in the TCP have admitted that the provisional NOC of the sub-division of the land was granted to Rahejas based on Alemao’s note issuing directions to PWD officials. The note was put by Alemao on 30th November 2009 and still there appears no change in the width of the road.
The anti mega housing activists from the village are all set for another round of battle, with the activists reminding the TCP to ensure that all conditions imposed on the builder during the granting of NOC for property sub-division are met with.
According to the Panch Mr. Orlando Da Silva the existing approach road is less than five meters when the building norms mandate a ten meters wide road. The villagers have decided to approach the TCP to pressure him not to entertain the construction plan as the conditions for the road are not fulfilled till now.
Initially Raheja’s had mooted contruction of around 612 appartments on the 80,000 odd property facing the river sal at Carmona, but eventually the file was withdrawn due to the agitation from the local people.

  1. How did this" GHANTI Raheja" come in to existence in Goa? Who are his Goan Godfathers? None other than some of our Corrupt Government ministers. These Goans traitors have drained the blood out of Goan Land. What infrastructure does Goa have? What is the future for Goans? Unlike Dr. Jack Sequeira I have not heard one minister say "Goa For Goans". And the latest is for Goa to join Karnataka stated by Chutchill.

  2. Once the project is ready and non Goans start residing in these bungalows, let the Goans water their garden, wash their dishes and cars. You deserve it. History shows that Goans were also ruled by outsiders and today there is no difference. Goans are Goans worst enemies.

    I fully nod yes to Da Silva's comments. The Goans are always the the enemies of Goans itself and the advantage has been taken by ghantis. I do not know when Goans will come to their senses.

    Today we the Goans should have been kings in Goa but instead we are slaves to the outsiders and we ourselves are the main faulty people as those we elect are causing all this harm.
