The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded full and immediate financial compensation for the family of Rajendra Gaonkar (40) and Mohandas Gaonkar (46), two brothers who tragically lost their lives in an electrocution incident at Rivona on August 27.
On Saturday, AAP Velim MLA Engr Cruz D’Silva visited the bereaved family at their residence, accompanied by senior party leaders including AAP Goa Vice President Engr Roque Mascarenhas, Joint Secretary Prashant Naik, ST Wing Vice President Vinay Velip, and several party volunteers.
The delegation met the victims’ mother and relatives, offering condolences and assuring them of AAP’s support during this difficult time.
Speaking after the visit, Cruz Silva emphasized the urgent need for the government to provide swift financial relief and to strengthen safety protocols to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
“This tragedy has left a family devastated. It is the duty of the government to extend immediate support. Compensation and safety reforms must go hand in hand,” Silva said.
AAP reiterated its commitment to stand by the Gaonkar family, press for accountability, and ensure that justice is not delayed in cases of negligence leading to loss of lives.
