After Santa Cruz, Curca opposes PDA

17 Feb 2018 07:31 PM

After Santa Cruz, neighbouring Curca village has opposed its inclusion into the Greater Panaji PDA.



Curca panchayat that largely comprises of tribals and SC/ST fears the new development authority may not understand their issues.

Villagers have laid out seven reasons why they staunchly oppose being included into the PDA. 

Villagers fear that PDA would weaken gram panchayats.

There is also an apprehension that once the villages come under PDA, there would be a vertical development that would change the demography given that people from outside will come and live in the village.
