Probe past Ajuna p’yat members over illegalities

Anjuna village is now in the news after some spirited citizens approached the courts to address about 175 illegalities.

Why are the Goa government investigative agencies not being put to good use if the self-proclaimed “double engine” really wants to root out corruption? Currently, it looks to me that the Goa Ministers and local MLAs are hand in glove with present/past Anjuna panchas in a massive corruption circus. And Anjuna village is just one example.
