In a recent development, Goa Forward Party (GFP) President Vijai Sardesai has proposed to categorize Calangute, Candolim, and Porvorim as cities instead of villages. Sardesai emphasized that these areas have urban characteristics and therefore should be recognized as cities. He further stated that the reclassification would enable them to receive more funds and resources for development, infrastructure, and amenities. Sardesai also highlighted the population growth and economic activities in these regions, supporting his argument for the reclassification. This move is expected to have a significant impact on the governance and planning of these areas, leading to better urban management and services for the residents. As discussions and deliberations continue on this proposal, it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to this suggestion by the GFP President. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story.
