Margao: Concerns are mounting over a proposed structure at the Margao Municipal Garden, with citizens and activists calling for the tender to be scrapped and the public space preserved in its existing form.
Residents have expressed apprehension that any permanent or large-scale construction within the garden premises could alter its open character and reduce green space available for public use. The issue has sparked wider discussions on the importance of protecting urban green zones and maintaining accessible recreational areas for citizens.
Environmental and civic voices have joined the call, urging authorities to reconsider the proposal and prioritize conservation of public spaces. They argue that city gardens play a crucial role in providing breathing space, especially in rapidly urbanising areas like Margao.
The demand to withdraw the tender has gained momentum, with many stating that development should not come at the cost of already limited open spaces. Citizens have appealed to municipal authorities to ensure transparency in decision-making and involve public consultation before proceeding with any such projects.
Authorities are expected to review the concerns raised and take a decision in line with public interest and urban planning guidelines.
