Urban Area Row: Goa Government Assures Panchayat Consultation Before Final Decision

Summary

The Goa government has assured that it will consult with concerned panchayats before making a decision on notifying a village as an urban area. This comes after opposition parties, including Congress, Goa Forward Party, and AAP, expressed concerns over a recent circular regarding the notification of villages as urban areas. The government's decision will be made only after considering the views of each panchayat to ensure it reflects the consensus and aspirations of the affected villages.
