Acting on directions of North Goa Collector Nila Mohanan the Panaji Deputy Collector Pundalik Khorjuvekar has through a written memorandum asked the Mamlatdar of Tiswadi Veera Nayak to initiate necessary action to recover from State BJP Vice President Anil Hoble the fine of twenty lakhs that was imposed on him by the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
In a letter to the North Goa Collector her attention was drawn that the six week stay granted by the Bombay High Court at Goa on June 29th 2016 while disposing the last petition filed by Anil Hoble had ended and that Anil Hoble had not obtained any further stay from the Supreme Court. The Collector has been urged to this time herself monitor the recovery proceedings as the Panaji Mamlatdar Veera Nayak had earlier malafiedly connived with the politically well connected Anil Hoble to subvert and delay the process of recovering the twenty lakhs. Veera Nayak is the daughter of Senior BJP leader Subhash Salkar. The NGT on May 29th last year while ordering the demolition of Anil Hoble’s illegal structures including the Hoble’s River Lounge the Bar & Restaurant along the Ribandar-Panaji causeway for violating various provisions of the environmental law had directed him to pay a fine of 20 lakhs within six weeks for destroying mangroves and doing illegal land filling in violation of law. The proceedings initiated by the Tiswadi Mamlatdar to recover the twenty lakhs was however kept on hold on account of the stay order by the High Court. With the last six weeks stay granted by the High Court having ended, the decks have now cleared for the Deputy Collector to also demolish the remaining illegal structures including Anil Hoble’s Bar and Restaurant which was inaugurated by then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on 1st April 2014.
