AAP questions increased FAR in ODP

PANAJI
AAP questioned the CM on increasing the FAR for properties belonging to Michael Lobo and the builder lobby. 

In a press release, Rahul Mhambre of AAP asked if this was his way of collecting funds to buy more MLAs for the upcoming elections.

It’s shocking that the NGPDA in the final ODP has changed the zones for these specific properties including the one belonging to Lobo while remaining properties around it belonging to Calangute locals were untouched, he said.

Mhambre said there can be no doubt that this selective increase in FAR is only to help the builder mafia and the local BJP MLA. What Goa needs to know is how much did the CM Pramod Sawant get out of this deal, he added. 

Sawant’s silence on this issue shows his complicity in destroying Goa just for the interests of a few while filling his own pockets, he said.

He said Goans across the state have been suffering as the builder mafia has a free run to get a hold of lands belonging to Goans. 

In the coastal belt, Pramod Sawant is overseeing illegal hill cutting, filling of fields and planning of projects no one has asked for, he ridiculed.
