Lionroars -4 Eternal damination
Here is another festering sore of a tale to tell. A rich Delhi honcho is building his Goa abode on a road widening area in Cobra vaddo in Calangute, right in front of a chapel where parishioners pray. The site was inspected by the Public Works Department (PWD) on April 9, 2013. The Town and Country Planning Department (TCP), Mapusa issued him an NOC on March 6, 2007 (DB/21628/07/705) to build what may be a residential house. The corrupt and truly morally bankrupt Village Panchayat (VP) of Calangute issued him a construction license on March 10, 2007 (VP/CAL/F-13/06-07/L/3914) and later renewed it on February 7, 2013 (VP/CAL/F-13/12-13/R-16/6302). Since the VP issued its license in exactly five working days from the date the TCP issued its NOC, I checked the March 2007 calendar and discovered March 10 was a Saturday, and March 6 was a Tuesday, that is, five days including the Sunday holiday!
