Casino ships in Mandovi will not require DGS licence TNN | Aug 9, 2012, 04.25AM IST To a question from Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco as to why registration from DGS is not required for their sea worthiness, chief minister Manohar Parrikar said if the vessel is in the sea, then permission from DGS is required but if the vessel is in the bay of river Mandovi, Indian Vessels Act, 1917 is applicable and as such it requires permission from captain of ports.
Arguing his point, Parrikar said if registration from DGS is required for these boats, then why not to barges and other vessels in the river. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Casino-ships-in-Mandovi-will-not-require-DGS-licence/articleshow/15413117.cms Casinos will be moved out of Mandovi: Manohar Parrikar TNN | Aug 8, 2012, 06.08AM IST Chief minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday said he would ensure that all floating casinos would be out of the River Mandovi before his term ends and emphasized that he doesn't need the revenue from casinos to run the government.
