Read: Notification No. 8/6/2026-LA/159 dated 06-07-2026 of Department of Law, Government of Goa, Secretariat, Porvorim-Goa.
Whereas, the Goa Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026 (Ordinance No. 6 of 2026) has been promulgated by the Hon'ble Governor of Goa on 06/07/2026. Accordingly, the Department of Law, Legal Affairs Division has notified and published the aforesaid ordinance in the Official Gazette (Extraordinary), Series I No. 14 dated 06/07/2026 for information of general public.
And whereas, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 113A of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001, the Department of Co-operation had constituted a panel of Reconciliators for hearing disputes or differences of opinion amongst members and for addressing instances of non-compliance or delay in compliance affecting the members of the co-operative society.
And whereas, the Goa Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026 has introduced a separate statutory authority known as SAHARA i.e. Society's Advisory, Harmony and Redressal Authority and consequently the provisions of Section 113A of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 have become redundant.
And whereas, the SAHARA Authority is yet to be constituted and in the intervening period an administrative vaccum would arise in relation to the receipt, hearing and disposal of matters previously dealt with by the Reconciliators. It is threfore considered necessary in the interest of ensuring continuity of the dispute resolution mechanism and avoiding hardship to members and co-operative societies to provide for an interim arrangement untill the SAHARA Authority is duly constituted.
Now therefore, pending the constitution of the SAHARA Authority, the Government in exercise of powers conferred under Section 68 of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 (Goa Act 36 of 2001) hereby order that the existing panel of Reconciliators appointed under erstwhile Section 113A of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 shall continue to receive, entertain, hear and decide matters and exercise the powers and discharge the functions entrusted to them immediately before the commencement of the Goa Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026, until the SAHARA Authority is duly constituted or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Demand No. 16:
(a) Urgent need for safety and dedicated maintenance of all electric buses: Complaints are pouring- in on the safety, the maintenance, cleanliness and the upkeep of the electric buses. Many an electric bus which are plying on the various schedules are in a state of disrepair due to the absence of dedicated maintenance of the vehicles.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 17 23RD JULY, 2026(b) What is meant by dedicated "maintenance"? At present the electric buses suffer frequent break- downs. These break-downs concern the steering wheel (especially due to non-replacement of the 'Steering-cross'), severe vibrations of the vehicles, (Suspensions of the vehicles are damaged), non-functioning of A/C, Worn-out/Tyres of the vehicles: Especially the front tyres are bald and the tyres fitted to the vehicle are invariably re-moulded, suspension bushes are not replaced once worn-out, No proper Wheel-alignment done and checked leaking bus-roofs, all these above state of the electric buses inconveniencing to the travelling public who otherwise gain comfort and prefer EV buses.
(c) Threats to Electric Bus Drivers who report on vehicle disorders: the electric drivers who call out and report any deficiencies in the maintenance of electric buses are singled-out, harassed, humiliated, threatened and victimised. Such an attitude by the administrators of EV buses under KTCL does not serve the objective of offering safe, prompt, comfortable, luxurious, environment-friendly, yet affordable travel to the people in the State of Goa as well as Tourists who travel on EV buses.
Demand No. 17:
Rest Rooms: The present condition of the Rest-rooms offered to the Electric bus Drivers and the allied staff is far away from satisfactory.

Demand No. 18:
Payments of Overtime and paid compensatory off: Whenever the EV bus drivers and allied staff are asked to work on weekly-off days or holidays or after completing of a schedule, the workers should be paid overtime at double the rate; and when asked to work on weekly-off day or on a public holiday, the employee should also be entitled to paid compensatory off within 10 days from such work.
Demand No. 19:
Medical Coverage Benefits and Insurance: All Employees shall be eligible to the following Medical benefits:
(a) Group personal accident Insurance Scheme: coverage of 15 lakhs for each employee.
(b) Those employees who are out of the purview and coverage of ESIS, his/her family should be covered to the extent of 15 lakhs under Medi-claim.
(c) Every employee who goes out of ESIS coverage ought to be paid every month 5% of the gross salary as Medical Allowance.
(d) In the event of an accident in the course of employment, the employee should receive dedicated free & expert medical attention with full pay until rehabilitation and recovery.
(e) EV buses should be fully insured in the interest of the staff and the travelling public.
