Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has called for a public interaction by the beleaguered Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited tomorrow evening at 7 pm in Menezes Braganza Hall at Panaji. This morning that interaction was suddenly pre-poned to 5 pm.
Surprisingly the office of the Chief Secretary who is the Chairman of Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited is totally unaware of such an interaction scheduled for tomorrow. It is now expected that the so called hurriedly called interaction with the public scheduled for tomorrow will be postponed. Will keep you posted. Let us hope that the Chief Minister will assign at least four clear hours so that the citizens of Panaji can effectively deliberate on such a crucial issue of transforming a sinking Panaji into a Smart City. It would be incumbent on the authorities that on this Panaji Smart City Project they should also consider the inputs of the newly elected MLA Babush Monseratte, the Mayor Uday Madkaikar and at least the three candidates who contested the recent by-polls to the Panaji Assembly Constituency Subhash Velingkar, Valmiki Naik not forgetting Sidharth Kunkalienkar for whom that Smart City concept was over the last few years clearly a vehicle for total personal enrichment. Let us also be enlightened by Utpal Parrikar who has suddenly woken up claiming that he has a Vision and Road Map for Panaji.
