Protests stop SEZ
work
PTI, Panaji
8 December 2007
Following the public outcry, two companies setting up Special
Economic Zones (SEZs) in the state have stopped the work until
further directions.
"Both the companies, whose SEZs are notified, have informed
us that they have stopped the work and will not start it till
cabinet committee on infrastructure reviews it," Goa
Chief Minister Digamber Kamat told reporters here.
The cabinet committee on infrastructure had held emergency
meeting at CM's residence after strong public protest at proposed
SEZ at Kerim in Ponda taluka and mounting pressure on the
government to scrap SEZs till the policy is reviewed.
"The work on any of SEZs will not start till committee
reviews all the projects," Kamat said.
