Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant assured the assembly that the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) 2019 will undergo public consultation only after removing expanded port limits within village areas. He also pledged to maintain current coal handling levels and retain Goan rights over state rivers, refuting concerns about nationalization or increased coal transportation on inland waterways.
