Pramod Sawant Thanks PM Modi For His Support

After winning 20 of the 40 seats in the state election, incumbent Chief Minister Pramod Sawant spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pramod Sawant, who is expected to be re-elected as Chief Minister of Goa, thanked the Prime Minister for his support for the state on Twitter.
Sawant praised Prime Minister Modi for his support for all of Goa’s development projects. He further stated that the Prime Minister thanked the people of Goa for handing the BJP a landslide victory.
Following the tragic death of Manohar Parrikar in 2019, Sawant was appointed Chief Minister of Goa. Sawant won the Sanquelim constituency after a close battle with Congress candidate Dharmesh Saglani, securing 11,561 votes in his maiden assembly election as Goa’s chief minister. Sawant won by a slim margin of around 650 votes, with both Deputy CMs losing their seats.
After winning the election, CM Pramod Sawant thanked the people of Goa for putting their faith in the BJP and believing in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
BJP won Twenty assembly seats in Goa on Thursday, just one shy of the halfway mark, overcoming anti-incumbency. However, it rapidly won support from the regional Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and three independent MLAs, allowing it to establish the state government for the third time in a row.
Sawant also congratulated other BJP officials, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda, and Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was in charge of the BJP’s Goa assembly poll.
Elections in Goa in 2022
On February 14, the Goa Assembly elections were held in a single round. Voter turnout for the 40-member Assembly was 79 percent, down from 81.21 percent in 2017. The BJP won 20 of the 40 assembly seats, but it is still one seat shy of claiming a majority on its own. The party will, however, form the government with the MGP and three independent MLAs.
“A total of 20 seats have been allocated to us. A letter of support from MGP has been sent to us. We also have the support of three independent MLAs. Now we have a total of 20+3+2 = 25. There is a chance that we will be joined by other applicants. As a result, we’re putting together the government “On Thursday evening, Fadnavis stated.

Construction Projects Must Utilize Tertiary Processed Recycled Water, Under NMMC Regulations

NMMC mandates use of tertiary treated recycled water for construction projects.
The Regulation
In a major step towards water conservation, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has made it mandatory for developers to use tertiary treated recycled water in all construction projects approved by the Town Planning Department.
The initiative aims to curb the rising demand for potable water as the city grapples with declining rainfall and increasing concerns over water scarcity. With several redevelopment projects underway, the consumption of drinking water for construction has surged, putting additional strain on resources.
To address this, NMMC is leveraging its advanced sewage treatment infrastructure. The city currently operates seven sewage treatment plants using Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) technology. Additionally, tertiary treatment plants at Koparkhairane and Airoli utilize Ultra Filtration and Ultraviolet-Based Technology to further purify secondary treated water. This recycled water is already being supplied to industrial establishments in the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) area for non-potable use.
By enforcing the use of recycled water in construction, NMMC aims to reduce reliance on drinking water and promote sustainability. This regulation is expected to play a crucial role in preserving Navi Mumbai’s water resources for the future while ensuring responsible urban development.
