While addressing the media, Congress Spokesperson Vithu Morajkar said that the demand of commission even during the lockdown by Tourism Minister has resulted in hoteliers not able to do maintenance of their hotels and provide service to the guests.
“This is evident from the viral videos of certain hotels in State which are used as paid quarantine facility by our own Goan brethren who have returned from abroad recently. This situation has arised due to gross corruption in the Tourism Department,” alleged Vithu Morajkar.
The Congress demanding an answer from the government said that the Chief Minister must answer what action was taken on the letter written to his office by the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa alleging that “30 per cent commission” is demanded by one senior officer of the Tourism Department on behalf of the Tourism Minister.
“The said letter had even named the officer. Is it that Dr Pramod Sawant shelved the said letter as he got his share of commission?” questioned Morajkar.
