Regarding Industrial Policy, Minister Mauvin Godinho said that shortly he be putting it in public domain for suggestions and objections in the Assembly. “The salient feature includes instead of getting multiple applications from various departments, it’ll be one single application that will go to all. On a mere declaration you can start the industry, permissions can be obtained later on as operations start.”
Focus will be on environment-friendly industries and new segments like logistics and entertainment. “Goa has a lot of lovely artistes and IFFI has taught us a lot. Let them be big names,” he said.
On panchayat elections, he said, It is with the state of Election Commission. “They have not decided. If you look at SC judgement stressed on triple test and monsoons. What is the hurry when we have to fulfill the triple test. Let OBC Comission complete their job.”
