LEAD/ANCHOR: In a shocking announcement, Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho has assured the regularization of 545 houses in New Vaddem Housing Board Colony. Speaking in the presence of Goa Housing Board Chairman Jeet Arolkar, Minister Godinho emphasized the government's commitment to providing secure housing for the residents, many of whom are workers of the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC), who people say are mostly migrants. Goans reacted strongly to Mauvin’s announcement accusing him of vote bank politics.
