MARGAO: The recent judgement by the Supreme Court which held that panchayats could challenge government decisions before the high court found an echo at the gram sabha of the Orlim village panchayat held on Sunday, as the meeting adopted a resolution demanding reinstatement of the village panchayats as the authority to whom applications for construction permissions within the panchayat area shall be submitted first, in order to comply with Section 66 of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994.
In view of the said apex court judgements, a resolution demanding revocation of the recent amendment to the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, which empowered the panchayat secretary to implement directions/orders of the director of panchayats, was also passed by the gram sabha.
A resolution demanding that all construction approvals/NOCs must have necessary clearance from water resources, agriculture and health department was also adopted.
