Fomento Resorts and Hotels Limited spokesperson in a statement to the media has clarified that only repair work on the retaining wall was being carried out in their own property to prevent further erosion of the beach and restore damage from heavy rains over the past two years.
“We have acquired all requisite permissions and began work after consulting the Water Resources Department, Government of Goa. Fomento has always been committed to environmental preservation and will continue to protect and preserve Goa’s natural resources and biodiversity,” stated the spokesperson.
The statement came in the wake of allegations from a section of social media, that illegal construction was being undertaken along the beach at Vainguinim valley.
