Margao, Oct 30 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has urged the South Goa Collector to withdraw permission given to South Western Railway (SWR) for closure of level crossings in Salcete to carry out work of railway double tracking which could lead to law and order problem.
“This is to bring to your notice that there is strong opposition to the three Mega Projects proposed by the government namely Railway Double Tracking, Widening of National Highway and Laying of Power Transmission Line as these projects will cause severe damage to the Environment,” he said in a letter to the Collector.
Mr Kamat said the people of Goa were coming on roads protesting against the government decision to allow the South Western Railway or Railway Vikas Nigam Ltd to carry out the work of double tracking and even strong protests were made during the closure of the Level Crossing Road at Nessai on October 28, 2020.
