The current debate on whether Panaji should have a football stadium needs a careful consideration. More urgent though is the question whether the already congested city can sustain and cope with a football stadium. A full fledged stadium on the outskirts of the City may be an idea. Possibly the uncultivated fields along the Panaji - Ribandar causeway could be considered as it would still be within the jurisdiction of the CCP.
The Corporation of the City of Panaji has virtually clogged all the city’s open spaces. Panaji’s priority should be to find a permanent solution to the alarming garbage crisis. Infact the CCP should not allow any further projects which generate garbage including a stadium untill the garbage issue is resolved. The CCP needs to identify a site for its garbage disposal plant within its jurisdiction rather than unjustly dumping its burden on the neighbouring villages. Sadly the Campal grounds may be the only venue available where the CCP's garbage may have to be rested. Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372
