"20 lakh sq m in Mandrem was picked up by a Bengaluru based company, while the
Saibaba Family Trust through its director Shyam Luthria bought 1,05,931 sq m
in
seaside Mandrem in 2005." writes Pamela D'Melo in the MID DAY quoting the Goa
Legislative Assembly data.
Morjim beach, the Olive Riddley Turtle nesting site at the mouth of the River
Chapora [which will soon have a 'minor port' and a 'marina' to boot!], has its
own story. So does Chopdem, the ferry point before the bridge linked the sleepy
village of Siolim in Bardez to Pernem taluka.Thus writes Pamela D'Melo:
<<While the media spotlight has focused on the big bad Russian 'mafia' bogeymen
allegedly holding sway in Morjim, in North Goa, what is less known is that
government records that emerged in the Goa Assembly show that Ravina Kohli of
Bandra, Mumbai purchased 13,853 sq m in Morjim, Padmashing Finevest Pvt Ltd,
Mumbai bought another 18,221 sq m in the same village in Goa's northernmost
taluka of Pernem, Sigrun Realties of Mumbai purchased 2,64,137 sq m in
neighbouring Chopdem, 20 lakh sq m in Mandrem was picked up by a Bengaluru
based
company, while the Saibaba Family Trust through its director Shyam Luthria
bought 1,05,931 sq m in seaside Mandrem in 2005. >>

>Tags:James Braganza|Chapora-Bardez|Chapora port
>PANAJI: The state government has given its nod in principle to set up a minor
>port at Chapora-Bardez. The port may serve the dual purpose of cargo handling
>and cruise berthing. Chapora's picturesque waterway and its proximity to
>tourist
>areas in the north could make it an attractive cruise jetty.

>Some months back, the government had proposed Chapora as a minor port to link
>it
>to Mopa international airport. Cruise boats in Chapora could do well in
>drawing
>tourists staying in Arambol, Morjim, Mandrem and northern parts of Bardez like
>Anjuna, sources said.
