GBA threatens to revive stir against regional plan

Special Correspondent

PANAJI: The Goa Bachav Abhiyan(GBA) has threatened to revive the agitation against the Regional Plan 2011 if the Government did not denotify the same with retrospective effect.

While welcoming the decision of the State Government on Thursday to denotify the plan, the GBA on Friday raised doubts about the statement of the Chief Minister that the denotification will take prospective effect.

Convener of the GBA Oscar Rebello said in a statement here on Friday that the so-called prospective effect nullifies the effect of denotification. This would actually mean that all the irregularities that have been committed till date would stand regularised.

He reiterated GBA's stand that the notification of Regional Plan 2011 is not acceptable to the people of Goa.

The GBA insists that the plan has to be notified with retrospective effect i.e., from the date of notification, which is August 10, 2006.
