CMO Goa Dear CM Dr. Pramod Sawant
Villagers objecting Land Acquisition for double tracking of SWR have received ' A letter for a personal hearing with the Mormugao Collector ' Please intervene and stop this ' Hearing order' ASAP Most of these people are old it's unbelievable that a Government Official is calling ' Citizens above 65 ( many of them with comorbidities ) for a personal hearing regarding their objections to the land acquisition for double tracking by South Western Railway, breaking SOP's laid down by the Government for senior citizens ? Secondly, Goencho Ekvott had placed their demands before you and our first demand was to drop the land acquisition . Goencho Ekvott has been at the receiving end of attacks from several Goans for approaching you and requesting you to safeguard the ' Rights of Goans ' Your Government is proving them right. Hope you will look into this matter immediately and stop your officials from sending letters to citizens for ' Personal Hearings ' in such times of the Pandemic . Thank you, Members of Goencho Ekvott _________________________________ Therefore we demand the following action immediately: 🔸1.
