For a change, the quarterly meeting of North Goa Zilla Panchayat (NGZP) held today turned out to be without any trouble. Congratulatory motions dominated the meeting. A motion was moved congratulating the government about its decision to go head with the proposed Mopa International airport. There was also a motion moved congratulating the government for scrapping Special Economic Zone (SEZs.) Both the motions were moved by Upadhyaksha Kishore Narvekar. A motion was also moved congratulating Adhayaksha Amol Morajkar for completing one year in office. Apparently, members were jubilant over assurance from the State Government that their pending demands would be sympathetically considered. The members of NGZP had a meeting with Chief Minister Digambar Kamat on June 18. He, assured them to release more funds to carry out developmental works, told Morajkar to Herald on Thursday. "We get Rs 2.74 crore annually which is insufficient to do developmental works in all 30 constituencies. And we have demanded Rs 17 crore,' she said. Motion on mega project
