The party said that the land falls under an eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) as per the Regional Plan 2021. The criticism comes after govt ratified the Goa IPB's notification of a 31,280sqm land parcel as an investment promotion area.
The state Congress has accused govt of going against the wishes of local residents and ignoring gram sabha resolutions passed during the previous year.
'There's no plan for the contract given to these private players. There's no transparency on how projects are getting approved and who is approving them. Govt is scamming the villagers,' said Tulio DeSouza.
Congress also accused chief minister Pramod Sawant of destroying eco-sensitive zones and areas falling under the CRZ under RP 2021, making false promises to the residents about providing employment.

SC judges' observation on Rahul Gandhi unwarranted: Opposition floor leaders' meet
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The INDIA bloc floor leaders on Tuesday termed as "extraordinary" and "unwarranted" the observations of two Supreme Court judges about leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, including the comments that "if you were a true Indian, you would not have said this".On her part, Gandhi's sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the SC judges "do not decide" who a true Indian is."All the (floor) leaders of the INDIA parties agreed that the sitting judge has made an extraordinary observation, which is unwarranted, on the democratic rights of political parties. It is the responsibility of political parties, especially the leader of Opposition, to comment on issues of national interest. When a government fails so spectacularly to defend our borders, it is every citizen's moral duty to hold it accountable," said a Congress press release after the floor leaders' to media queries later, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "With due respect to the honourable judges, they do not decide who a true Indian is. It is the duty of the Opposition leader to question the government. My brother would never speak against the Army, he holds them in the highest respect. This is a misinterpretation."When media persons asked about the observations about Gandhi made by the judges on Monday, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav said, "BJP should tell the (border) area of India then and the area of India now. The day they give an answer, we will take out a Tiranga Yatra."

As expected, paddy cultivation hits record high in Punjab, shatters state's crop diversification dreams
Punjab has set a new record in agriculture — but not the one it hoped for. The area under rice cultivation has touched an all-time high of 32.46 lakh hectares — including 6.80 lakh hectares of Basmati — marginally up from 32.43 lakh hectares last year, according to field reports from the Punjab Agriculture Department. Though the increase seems slight as compared to the last year, the area under rice is already too high and instead of decreasing area under paddy, it marks a troubling continuation of a long-standing trend: the decline of crop diversification in the state. The cultivation of paddy and Basmati is almost over in the state now. For nearly four decades, successive governments in Punjab have been striving to encourage farmers to grow alternative, less water-intensive crops such as maize, cotton, pulses, and sugarcane. Yet, paddy — heavily reliant on groundwater and backed by a guaranteed Minimum Support Price (MSP) — continues to dominate, pushing alternative crops further into the margins. Cotton belt slips further into paddy A significant shift has been recorded in Punjab's cotton belt — comprising eight districts in the Malwa region: Bathinda, Fazilka, Mansa, Muktsar, Moga, Barnala, Sangrur, and Faridkot for the past few years. These districts either have registered an increase in paddy area or no decrease, reversing efforts to maintain or expand cotton acreage. This year also the trend was no different. Bathinda saw paddy sown over 2.39 lakh hectares, up from 2.16 lakh hectares last year — an increase of 23,000 hectares. Fazilka recorded 1.30 lakh hectares under paddy, up from 1.28 lakh hectares. While Muktsar Sahib's paddy area rose to 2.03 lakh hectares from 2.01 lakh hectares, Mansa's increased to 1.46 lakh hectares from 1.44 lakh hectares last year. Barnala also recorded a small increase in the rice area from 1.14 to 1.15 lakh hectares. The remaining cotton belt districts — Sangrur, Moga, and Faridkot — maintained similar paddy acreage as last year. Meanwhile, several other districts like Tarn Taran, Nawanshahr, Ropar, Patiala, Pathankot, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Firozpur, Amritsar, and Fatehgarh Sahib reported a little decline in paddy area, but this was not enough to offset the gains elsewhere. Punjab's diversification efforts began in earnest in the early 1980s. The goal: reduce the state's dependency on water-intensive paddy and encourage cultivation of crops that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. In 2002, the then Congress-led government introduced contract farming in hopes of breaking the paddy-wheat cycle. However, the initiative faltered. A more ambitious push came in 2012-13, when the SAD-BJP government under late chief minister Parkash Singh Badal unveiled a new agriculture policy aimed at shifting 12 lakh hectares away from paddy to crops like maize, cotton, and high-value vegetables. Yet the ground reality remained largely unchanged. But the data paints a sobering picture. In the past decade, the combined area under paddy and Basmati accounts for 88 to 90 per cent and alternative kharif crops like cotton, maize, and sugarcane, rarely crossed 6 lakh hectares in most years and off late the area under these three crops has come down to merely around 3 lakh hectares. Cotton, grown over 3.35 lakh hectares in 2015, has shrunk to just 1.13 lakh hectares this year — a nearly 66 per cent drop — largely due to repeated pest (whitefly and pink bollworm) attacks and volatile market prices. Maize, expected to be a pillar of diversification, has shown little progress with 1.26 lakh hectares in 2015-16 to just 95,560 hectares this season. Sugarcane has hovered between 90,000 to 95,000 hectares since 2015-16, without significant expansion. Basmati, though still a rice crop, is considered as an alternative to paddy due to its shorter growing cycle. It too has declined — from 7.63 lakh hectares in 2015-16 to 6.80 lakh hectares this year against 6.78 lakh hectares last year. This shift toward paddy has profound implications for Punjab's fragile groundwater resources. According to a 2017-18 report by the Central Ground Water Board, the state could face an agricultural crisis by 2039, when farmers may need to dig as deep as 1,000 feet to access water. Renowned economist and agriculture expert Dr Sardara Singh Johal, who has long advocated for crop diversification, has been calling for the urgent need for a policy overhaul. He expressed several times that Punjab is facing a water emergency because of over-extraction of groundwater to support paddy. With the upper aquifers drying up, this small state, which feeds the entire country, is getting trapped in a self-destructive cycle. Experts said it will be difficult to reduce the area under paddy as long as free power is provided to the agricultural sector, and alternative crops are not supported with high-yielding seeds and assured MSP. Jaswant Singh, director, Agriculture Department, Punjab, said that the department is trying its best to enhance areas under other crops and has seen an increase under cotton, maize and Basmati as compared to last year but at the same time the area under rice has also increased.
