Unity in social activism need of the hour: Sabnis NT NETWORK PANAJI: It was necessary to have leadership in each village and federate groups to support each other in times of need, was the view propounded by Mr Pravin Sabnis, architect, social activist and member of the GBA core group. Mr Sabnis was speaking at a meet organised by the Moira Action Committee at Moira Club and attended by around 200 people today evening. He also said that different issues cannot be separated as most problems were connected to land. Prominent at the meeting, which was held to make people aware of their rights and duties with special focus on the gram sabhas, were ex minister, Ms Nirmala Sawant, historian , Mr Prajal Sakhardande, Goa Su-raj party, Mr Floriano Lobo, GBA Mr Miguel Braganza and the Moira sarpanch, Mr Bagkar. Mr Prajal Sakardande maintained that Moira was endowed with natural beauty and also had a long history. Mr Floriano Loba spoke about garbage and said that he was happy to see that the panchayats had accepted the door to door garbage collection proposal and informed that the communidade had given land for composting of garbage. He said that this exercise will start shortly. Mr Bagkar said that he was fully with the people but the panchayat also had its limitations under the law especially when it came to revocation of construction licenses. He said that he had consulted the TCP office in Mapusa on the revocation issue but they could not guide him. (Courtesy: The Navhind Times) - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com
