Land rate has become golden rate in the real estate market. The cases of grabbing the land and forging the documents are on rise in Goa. There are numerous properties in Goa which are under litigation due to these kinds of activities. Lots of Goans are staying abroad and they have left their land and properties either in the hands of some trusted person or unattended. The recent case in Sangolda is an eye opener for the people who have left their properties unattended or at the mercy of some crooks. There may be big and organized syndicates working in this field and their main job is to grab the properties belonging to people who are staying abroad and sell them after forging their documents. The unsupervised properties are their main target in this illegal business. The genuine owners should take care of their own properties in case if they own one in Goa. The government should contemplate on bringing legislation for providing protection to such properties from being fraudulently sold.
