Oppn for master plan to protect Old Goa's Unesco sites
Porvorim: The legislative assembly witnessed heated discussions on Wednesday over the urgent need for a comprehensive master plan to safeguard Unesco world heritage sites at Old Goa. A calling attention motion, tabled by opposition leader Yuri Alemao along with MLAs Viresh Borkar, Carlos Ferreira, and Venzy Viegas, pointed to growing concerns over illegal constructions threatening the heritage sites despite existing protections given by the ASI under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. Alemao drew the attention of the House to a news report revealing the presence of 54 illegal structures within the heritage area. He demanded immediate action to address these violations that persist despite established zones around the 14 protected monuments and sites. TCP minister Vishwajit Rane assured the House that govt has prioritised the protection of Unesco-recognised sites. 'No violations will be allowed,' Rane said. MLA Viresh Borkar criticalling the TCP minister a 'U-turn master' for failing to fulfil his earlier assurance of marking the buffer zone on the Regional Plan within three months. This infuriated Rane, who accused Borkar of vitiating the sanctity of the House. 'He can point out specific violations, but he can't be calling names. He will only get replies that are required to be given by law, nothing more,' Rane said. MLA Vijai Sardesai too called for a comprehensive master plan to address frequent violations of the regional plan affecting these protected areas. Rane assured to consult with the conservation committee on the opposition's demand.

In ‘Mann Ki Baat', Prime Minister Modi praises Panaji's waste sorting into 16 categories
Panaji: In his 124th ' Mann Ki Baat ' episode, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised the Corporation of the City of Panaji's 16-way segregation of waste. Modi also highlighted the role played by women in waste management and the state capital's larger aim of ensuring cleanliness. 'The example of Panaji city in Goa is also inspiring. There, waste is divided into 16 categories, and that is also being led by women,' Modi said. 'Panaji has even received the President's award. Friends, cleanliness is not a one-time, one-day task. Only when we accord priority to cleanliness every day, every moment of the year, will the country remain clean.' Modi said that a task such as keeping the country clean may come across as impossible but the ' Swachh Bharat Mission ' proves that if cities and states work together, change is possible. Chief minister Pramod Sawant thanked the PM for appreciating Panaji's efforts in waste management. Sawant said that the dedication shown by the women who segregate the city's waste has not only transformed Panaji's cleanliness standards but has also earned the city the President's award. 'This recognition inspires us to continue working towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Goa,' Sawant added.

Nitesh Rane speaking as per instructions of his party seniors: Rohit Pawar comments on allegation that he was ‘ready to join BJP in 2019'
Pune: Responding to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister Nitesh Rane's claim that "Rohit Pawar was willing to join BJP in 2019", the NCP (SP) functionary and MLA from Karjat-Jamkhed constituency on Sunday said, "He (Rane) is speaking as per the instructions of his party seniors. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " Rohit Pawar was interacting with the media on the sidelines of a visit to a party worker's office in Pune city. On Rane's comment, he further said, "When Rane was with Congress, he used to speak very aggressively. He would go before people with progressive thoughts. But after going to BJP, he is toeing the line of his higher-ups. He is now continuously trying to get a good position in the party." He added, "The Rane family members should speak after they look at their own past of jumping between parties." The MLA commented on various political developments during the interaction. On (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray's visit to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Pawar said it was a family visit, and there is no need to take political inferences from it. "If the two brothers are coming together, it is a good sign as per the culture of Maharashtra," he said. Asked if he feels voices of dissent are stifled, Pawar alleged that investigating authorities, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED), had taken action against him when he tried to speak against the ruling govt in rallies like the Yuva Sangharsh Yatra. He added that action was initiated against him even when he posted a video of state agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate on social media. Pawar said cabinet minister Hasan Mushrif's recent statement, wherein he reportedly spoke about offering rewards to farmers if he became the chief minister, is "a commentary on state govt's ignorance towards farmers' issues".
