Hey Ash, This is insane. Maybe talk to George, he needs to take some preventative action immediately. As President of the Communidade he needs to be more responsive. They were all part of the RP 2021 Village planning committee and surely understand the importance of "planned sustainable growth" for the betterment of the village. If I remember correctly, the plan was to only accommodate different vendors in the newly planned Market area, once it was opened. What is the hurry to have new vendors on the roadsides especially at that intersection? We could understand this kind of irresponsible action from the Panchayatt, but from the Communidade..?! Never mind the "revenue stream" for the gaddos, congestion at this intersection is a death trap waiting to happen. It just does not make any sense. This probably needs to be addressed at the Communidade meeting ASAP. Will be in touch. Regards, Maurice

As the Attorney for the Communidade he is supposed to be Yesit is on communidade land. as i had mentioned before, Anil used to be the tenant of the land before it reverted back to the communidade. > the "protector" of Saligao Communidade lands. Why is he continuing to > give permission or NOC's to the people erecting these Gaddos. If > permission hasn't been granted has action been initiated against the > violators? Austy has given permission to the gaddo's. when i called him up to ask him why permission was given, inspite of the risks involved, logistial clases etc, austy differed with me saying 1) noone was making anything in the deal.. the commmuindade is geting a miserly sun of Rs 1850/- as rent per year from each gaddo 2) the land is given out to whoever asked the communidade for the space. he told me if i wnated ven i could ask for the space and permission would be given.. while i respect his answers.. i ahve some of my own questions actually 1) Why such a small sum of money as rent if at all rent? dont u know a small room tucked somewhere deep inside the vilage is 3000/- a month? 2) what is more relevant is that "if u ask, you get" supose someone asks the panchaet for seting up a gaddo in the middel of the rd, will they give? the answer is NO. we shd not bow to wims and fancies... okie don deprive the people of heir livelehood. but cant we shit them elewhere where it doesnt pose a risk? 3) it makes no sence why permissoin is given to build a permanant structue when the contract is only for 11 months. other places that i'm aware off, permission is always given ONLY for movevebale on wheels structures that can be wheeled away once the bussiness is over. why keep them people permission to build a permanant structure in a place, that is 1) already kept as provision for rd widening as a 10 meter rd from the existing 5 meter 2) why give it on a place where for the gram sabha a proposal was made to make this ame area into a footpath and nothing has been done? 3) why give it to an area where since it lies just 4 meters from a major intersection of two major district roads, it forms a major trafic risk 3) why give it in an area where visability from soem sides is blocked by the "aulla" where oncoming traffic cannot see the hazzard there? 4) why give it in an area where there is a proposal to make a trafic island also. wont this cause a hindurance to the rd widening than? 4) also for the life of me i cannot understand still how a permant sturcture came up when rd rules state that a permant structure CANNOT come up near the rd without maintaining the proper setbacks. has any setback been kept for the same??? while as a memebr of the communidade i am looking at its interests, i also see the interest of the villae which i think take a higher priority i rest my case..
