Listen to the voice of Goans: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal urges Goa CM Pramod Sawant

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lent his help to the continued ‘Save Mollem’ marketing campaign and urged his Goan counterpart Pramod Sawant to face with Goans and take steps to save lots of Mollem National Park. The Delhi Chief Minister prompted Pramod Sawant to ‘take heed to the voice of individuals of Goa’ and to not give-in to the strain of the Central Government who’s ‘forcing the venture on Goa.’ 

For months, the folks of Goa have been protesting in opposition to the railway observe doubling venture to broaden the coal-carrying capability of the railway line from Goa’s Mormugao Port, which is able to convert Goa right into a coal hub. Along with this, a slew of tasks has been initiated in Goa, together with ,freeway growth, and energy line that may embrace the destruction of Mollem National Park in South Goa. 

Soon after CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted in help of the #SaveMollem motion, Pramod Sawant replied to the Delhi CM, saying that he didn’t want his recommendation on the matter and that the Govt of Goa is deeply involved concerning the atmosphere. Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted, “It is heartening to hear that Dr Pramod P Sawant Ji. Goans are opposing the double-tracking project. Kindly hear their voice n #savemollem as they are lungs of Goa. I understand the Centre is forcing this project on Goa. Pl stand wid Goans, say NO to Centre n save Goa from becoming coal hub.”

The South Western Railway’s observe doubling venture would result in the reducing down of greater than 50,000 timber within the reserved forests in and round Mollem village in South Goa. Moreover, all of the tasks together with the railway doubling venture, which have been accredited at a swift tempo, will pave for the coal trade to develop into the first trade of Goa as a substitute of tourism, which has been opposed by numerous civil society members, activists, and tourism stakeholders.

The argument carried on with Goa CM Pramod Sawant tweeting, “Dear Arvind Kejriwal Ji, doubling of railway tracks is a nation-building exercise. There is no threat to Mollem and we will ensure it remains that way. We will not allow Goa to become a coal hub. Knowing your expertise in creating Centre vs State issues, we will skip your advice,”  

Responding to the Goa CM, Arvind Kejriwal mentioned, “Pramod Sawant Ji, you don’t need to listen to my advice but please listen to the voices of Goans. Shouldn’t Goans have some say in their own state? Is Central diktat more important than Goan voices?”

The railway observe which is able to join the metal and energy crops in Karnataka to the Mormugao port in Goa has been experiencing stark opposition from Goans throughout South Goa in addition to Karnataka. The venture is deemed to profit corporates, personal entities, multinationals and can create environmental points and exploitation of the native folks of Goa.

The ‘Save Mollem’ marketing campaign has launched a pointy assault on CM Sawant asking him to reply to Goan Voices with the identical swiftness that he responded to Kejriwal with. “Please go ahead and skip Kejriwal ji’s advice. What about the 150 Scientists, 400+Medical students, 300+ College Students,150+ Tourism Stakeholders,153 Small-business Owners,100+ Veterinarians, Project Affected Citizens, Travel Tourism Association of Goa and 100+ Teachers?”
