PANJIM: The Electricity Dept is preparing for additional 220 KV on top of 400 KV line already proposed under Tamnar, for Five SEZs coming up all over Goa. Pramod Sawant and Vishwajit Rane are playing with the entire scenario of Goa.

If people know the plans, they would go to their houses with rage and boot them out of office. Vishwajit Rane says 6 crore square metres of land is to be converted, because there are 6 crore errors. They have already reached half a crore - 49 lakhs sqm have already been converted."
