PANAJI: Almost 23 per cent of houses inGoa are lying locked as buyers are not staying there, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told the Legislative Assemblytoday.
"Out of the five lakh flats constructed in the state, around 1.20 lakh are locked; either it is a second home or buyer is not living there," Parrikar said.
The chief minister said this trend is putting a strain on infrastructure as "only 8 per cent of the total land amounting to 30,000-40,000 hectares is available for development. We need to ensure that some land should be preserved for posterity".
Parrikar said Goa can not be a destination for alternate houses.
