taxi owners threaten to hold strike

Posted on April 30, 2017 by crtgoa9020

When the leaders of the Taxi drivers and owners were given an App they refused . This was an app where they would be all co-owners and the profits would be completely theirs. they dragged their feet and now they will be compelled to take what the government gives them which can never be in their best interest.

Threats of strike are all tall claims!!!

The demolition was carried out at D’Mello vaddo, Anjuna, just opposite Villa Anjuna Hotel. Sources informed that initially a licence for shop was allotted to the owner of the structure under the Deen Dayal scheme, but the owner later converted it into a restaurant and let it out to a third party.

GTDC demolished the restaurant/structure in the presence of Executive Magistrate, Mapusa, Sanjeev Gaude along with police and officials from the GTDC.

The property belongs to GTDC, which has plans to develop the area.

“GTDC is proposing to develop the property for providing tourism facilities like parking lot for buses, two and four-wheelers, setting up of toilets, signages, drainage, proper lighting systems and to set up avenues that will generate employment facilities for local villagers from the area,” a statement from GTDC said.

The department plans to undertake the project under the central government’s Swadesh Darshan Scheme. An amount of Rs 15 crore has been earmarked for the project, GTDC statement said.
