Freeze inflow of migrants: ex-GCCI chief

HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, OCT 16

Former Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) chairman Nitin Kuncolienkar has said there is a need for freeze on inflow of migrants coming to Goa.
Expressing his views at “Knowledge session” on investment opportunities for Goa at ITM-Goa today, Nitin said that there is a fear in minds of the local population about migrants, since the migrant population has already touched 35 per cent and any further addition will change demography of the State.
He also pointed out that there have been attempts to buy land in restricted CRZ areas by the people from outside the State despite of knowledge on CRZ regulations (Central legislation).
“Is Goa independent of India,” he quipped while dispelling misinformation that Goans are just opposed to outsiders buying land here.
