Cavelossim sarpanch Dixon Vaz on Mondaytrained his guns on Benaulim MLA Venzy Viegas, alleging that the MLA had failedto protect the constituency from the destruction of sand dunes and mega housingprojects.
The Cavelossim sarpanch also sought clarityfrom the Benaulim MLA on whether he had signed any sale deed to sell a propertyin Galgibaga-Poinguinim to the Sharmas in 2024.
Addressing the media on the Cavelossim sanddune destruction controversy, Vaz said the MLA had taken a delegation ofCavelossim villagers to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on November 5 to stop thedestruction of the sand dune at Mobor-Cavelossim.
“But, if one takes a glance at the Goa CoastalZone Management Authority's stop-work notice issued to Ashford Resorts, thenotice was signed by the GCZMA Member Secretary on November 3, and the ChiefMinister was assuring the MLA that the work would be stopped on November 5.There is something fishy in the episode,” he said.
Saying that the MLA had often been heardstating that Goan properties were being sold to the Sharmas and Vermas fromDelhi, Vaz demanded that the Benaulim MLA shed light on whether he had signed asale deed for a property at Galgibaga-Poinguinim in 2024.
“Maybe the sale deed and the information arefake. Let the MLA clarify his position on the sale deed,” he added.
