PANAJI: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte said that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s repeated claims to revive mining sector are fake.
“Repeated claims of CM to revive mining sector are fake. His Govt is favouring the mining moneybags on the lease fiasco & dragging it instead of working towards a settlement formula. Election funds are more important than economy of Goa,” said Khaunte
He further said that this shameless government got rapped for its highhandedness in bypassing Supreme Court permission before announcing the Goa Mineral Ore Permanent Fund Trust.
“Is this Administrative idiocy or purposeful intent to avoid keeping promises?,”questioned Khaunte
Speaking in surfacing of tar balls, Khaunte said that government should initiate an independent study regarding our beautiful beaches being deposited with ugly tar balls.
“Beaches are Goa’s Tourism USP and this problem warrants a permanent solution,” he said
Goa government has said that it will write to the Union home ministry, DG Shipping and Environment Ministry urging strict action against those creating pollution in the high sea resulting in tar balls on the Goan beaches.
