It is very distressing to see the rampant unlawful land filling going on all over the Merces- Chimbel area adjoining Ribandar which is all leading to a catastrophic environmental hazard. With political patronage, on low- lying fields hundreds of huts and varied illegal business activity has mushroomed while the authorities in rank dereliction of duty are conveniently inactive.
The Chimbel and Merces Panchayats should stop being dens of Corruption. And after having promised to be the Watch dogs of Goem, Goenkar and Goenkarponn, the Town & Country Planning Minister Vijai Sardesai and the Revenue Minister Rohan Khaunte now need to Walk the Talk by acting swiftly over this grand ecological disaster and social nuisance in the making. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/illegal-landfills-eating- ribandar-floodplains/articleshow/59480845 <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/illegal-landfills-eating-ribandar-floodplains/articleshow/59480845.cms> Aires Rodrigues Advocate High Court C/G-2, Shopping Complex Ribandar Retreat, Ribandar – Goa – 403006 Mobile No: 9822684372 Office Tel No: (0832) 2444012 Email: airesrodrigu...@gmail.com Or airesrodrig...@yahoo.com You can also reach me on Facebook.com/ AiresRodrigues Twitter@rodrigues_aires www.airesrodrigues.com
