Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had summoned a public interaction of the Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited (IPSCDL) with the citizens of Panaji on 28th May last year at the Menezes Braganza Hall in Panaji but at the last minute abruptly cancelled it while publicly assuring us all that it would be very soon re-scheduled.
It is now over 14 long months and that long overdue meeting has still not been held. It is imperative that the Chief Minister should at the earliest convene this crucial meeting by maintaining social distancing or even through video-conferencing. The Citizens of Panaji are entitled to know the true facts and figures of this multi-crore Panaji Smart City mega scam and loot that has come to the fore. Ironically Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate who had earlier demanded this public interaction with the Smart City officials has conveniently gone silent after embracing the BJP. In June last year Babush Monserrate had publicly alleged that the Smart City projects were a scam and had demanded that the CEO be sacked. Now the Panaji MLA is mute as a mouse.
