Congress Urges Clearing Backlogs Before New Regularization

Congress Urges Clearing Backlogs Before New Regularization

The Congress party in Panaji is asking the government to first deal with old applications to regularize illegal buildings before introducing new rules.

They say that many applications from as far back as 2000 are still waiting to be processed.

The party believes that migrants would gain from these changes.

According to the Congress, some files were approved, but land ownership wasn't given to the people.

They want the Chief Minister and Revenue Minister to find out why these old cases are still pending.

The Congress questions the point of bringing in new rules if old applications are not addressed, as they believe this benefits migrants more than current residents.
