The Betalbatim Gram Sabha which was moderately attended was largely peaceful without much of acrimonious arguments.In deference to the suggestions put forward at the previous Gram Sabha, the minutes and the budget proposals were circulated to members of the Gram Sabha before the meeting.
In response to a query, the Sarpanch stated that they had received a water testing kit and the panchas had already been instructed to make a survey in their respective wards of all wells (public and private)and ponds, after which the work of testing of all water bodies in the village will commence.
In response to another query, the Sarpanch confirmed that the panchayat has a valid subscription to the Government Gazette and they were available for reference to any member of the Gram Sabha.
It was also confirmed that a file of all circulars received from the government was available for inspection. When pressed about the important circulars received, the Gram Sabha was told that one of them contained instructions that henceforth all construction plans were to be sent directly to the TCP and would come to the panchayat after all the clearances. Members were up in arms and immediately, it was unanimously resolved that all construction plans should be routed through the panchayat first as was the practice. It was further resolved that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the TCP and the minister as also the local MLA.
The Sarpanch assured agitated members that it was aware of the nuisance caused by a commercial piggery-cum garbage collection centre and was taking steps to solve the problem. The Sarpanch also informed that a new transformer would soon come up in Chaul ward as the ground work was complete.
The medium of instruction issue too figured and it was unanimously resolved that the Education Dept be urged to give grants for primary education in English whilst insisting that Konkani the sole official language of Goa be made compulsory from Std I to SSCE. Copies of the resolution were to be sent to the Education Dept, the CM and the local MLA.
