Congress Working President, MLA Yuri Alemao on Thursday said the Curchorem shooting is result of encouragement to sand mafia and failure of the BJP government to regulate mining activity.
“Failure of the BJP Government under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to regulate sand mining activity & encouragement given to iIlegal sand extraction has resulted in shocking incident of gun shots being fired at Curchorem killing one person allegedly by sand mafia”, charged Yuri.
Reacting to the shooting incident at Curchorem today, Yuri Alemao came down heavily on the BJP government for its agenda to promote illegal activities in sand and laterite mining.
“Rampant destruction of environment is at full swing in Goa. Government is deliberately turning a blind eye on the various mafias operating in Goa. It is sad that BJP Government can’t even provide safety and security to Goans during festivals, he stated.
He added: “It is only because of the attitude of the irresponsible BJP Government that the law and order situation in Goa has deteriorated to such a level that criminals are not deterred to indulge in crimes in broad daylight. There is no fear of the law enforcement authorities on people as the said authorities have lost all their credibility by becoming puppets of the government.”
He demanded that the police officials must move swiftly and nab all those involved in the incident at Curchorem and has urged the Director General of Police to investigate the root cause of the shooting act and ensure that the masterminds are also nabbed immediately.
