Aldona MLA Adv. Carlos Ferreira on Saturday claimed that as much as 2 lakh sq. mtrs land of the Assagao Comunidade had been usurped by the land mafia and demanded a thorough probe into the matter.
Addressing a news conference at the Congress district office in Mapusa, Adv. Ferreira said the land grab had come to the attention of the Assagao Comunidade during the mutation process of the land.
“The Comunidade had referred the case to the Special Investigation Team (SIT). But even after two years, this case has not been registered by SIT,” claimed Adv. Ferreira.
Alleging that Illegal land grabbing by the land mafia is going on on a large scale at Assagao, Adv. Ferreira claimed that documents through RTI revealed that the land mafia had tried to usurp Comunidade land by falsifying the documents.
He also alleged that a former MLA and the land mafia were involved in this case. “All land sale deeds and other documents in this matter should be properly scrutinised. Action should be taken against all those officers involved in this case.”
Congress District President Virendra Shirodkar, Rajan Ghate and Lawrence Sequeira were also present at the news conference.
