Panaji: In a move aimed at preventing law and order situations such as gang wars, chief minister Pramod Sawant said on Friday that security agencies not registered with the home department would be shut down. His statement, delivered during his Independence Day address, came three days after a fight between two gangs at Mungul, Fatorda, on Tuesday, which left two persons injured. Goa police arrested several persons in connection with an alleged attempt to murder. The CM said his govt is committed to maintaining law and order in Goa. Sawant also said govt will not allow illegal construction of houses on govt and comunidade land. The CM called for the public to have a partnership with govt with regards to innovation, involvement, and investment. 'We want the public to innovate, involve themselves with govt, and invest in the state,' he said. The chief minister also said that state govt is committed to providing efficient and doorstep govt. Govt will construct a unity mall in Goa to provide locals with a place to sell their products, he added.

He also said that various development projects have been initiated by govt, including a convention centre. Sawant said that under the flagship initiative 'Majhe Ghar', state govt has undertaken several 'bold, compassionate, and people-centric' reforms to ensure every Goan family can claim this fundamental right which they were deprived of for the last 60 years. He said that govt has made reforms so that the public is not harassed and can get easy approvals from govt bodies to construct and repair their houses. He also urged people not to politicise the regularisation of houses on comunidade land and said everyone has a right to regularise their house. Sawant said that govt does not want to send a signal to the public who have constructed legal houses that govt is providing free houses to those constructed irregularly. 'Govt is committed to not allow illegal houses henceforth on govt and comunidade land,' he said. Sawant said that his govt is committed to resolving the issues of the public. He also thanked PM Narendra Modi for passing the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Goa Assembly Constituencies Bill, 2025, to reserve four assembly constituencies for the ST community in the next assembly election.

Need to learn from tribal farming: Viriato
Keri: The tribals of Goa have enriched the state's socio-cultural mosaic and every Goan should remember it, said South Goa MP Viriato Fernandes on Sunday. Fernandes was speaking as the chief guest at the annual felicitation of meritorious students organised by the Adivasi Sanghatana, Quepem. 'Tribal communities developed khazan fields and terrace farming in Goa. During my service in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, I witnessed how the 224-member Jarawa tribe sensed the 2004 earthquake. They took shelter on a hill and survived the tsunami. I realised that these primitive tribes possessed immense traditional knowledge of protecting and conserving soil,' he said. 'We must learn from the tribal knowledge of sustainable agriculture to secure a better present and future for Goa,' Fernandes said.

Goa govt mulls tweaking law to allow amplified music after 10pm
Porvorim: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Friday said govt will examine the possibility of tweaking the law to allow amplified music beyond 10pm in the state in a bid to boost tourism and provide relaxation for Goan weddings. Govt will file a review petition in Supreme Court to allow such music beyond 10pm, Sawant said, and added that he will direct police not to stop music played indoors beyond 10pm. 'We cannot bypass SC order, and we will do whatever possible to allow music beyond 10pm considering the law,' Sawant, who also holds the home portfolio, told the House. The state has the power to relax the rules for 15 days to allow music beyond 10pm, and govt is deciding on those days, he said. Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai said he has raised this issue in the interest of Goans having weddings and those running restaurants. He said the CM wrote a letter suggesting that music played at 70 decibels should be allowed between 10pm and 1am, but was told that it was not possible. 'Has govt given up on this issue?' Sardesai asked. In response, law minister Aleixo Sequeira said govt has consulted senior lawyers in Delhi to file a review petition in the SC to allow music at night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next!

He noted that in his budget speech, the Karnataka CM assured to keep establishments open. 'If Karnataka can do it, why can we not allow it?...Will (Goa) govt allow restaurants, shacks, and open-air venues to play music until midnight?' he asked while seeking CM's intervention in the matter. Sardesai further said state govt has lost Rs 1,600 crore in revenue due to the 10pm restriction on amplified sound and demanded that the CM make a statement that music at weddings will be allowed until 1am. 'If we can keep establishments open until 1am, we can examine this. We don't have a problem allowing music until 1am for weddings, but we have to have a look at the law,' Sawant said and noted that in Goa, govt faces problems from NGOs who file cases. Bicholim MLA Chandrakant Shetye urged govt to decide on the days it can relax the rules to allow amplified music beyond 10pm. Aldona MLA Carlos Ferreira said govt must first amend the music ban notification and forward it to Centre for consideration before filing a review petition in the SC. Curchorem MLA Nilesh Cabral said govt should issue directions to the police to not stop music played indoors. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
