PANJIM: Hitting out at the various hills cutting and land conversions, Congress has alleged that Town and Country Planning Minister Vishwajit Rane and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant are hand in gloves, passing the buck and cheating people. This is a land scam and real estate business by BJP.
Sacred lakes, water bodies and crematorium lands are being converted. Maharashtra Advocate General has been roped in to defend the cases of land conversion under section 17 (2) of Goa, GPCC President Amit Patkar said. After Chaturthi Congress will go to the villages of Goa and will expose the land conversion policies or the BJP Government.
Town and Country Planning Amendments --16B, 17 (2) and 39 (A) were brought in by this BJP Government. TCP Minister Vishwajit Rane does not want Regional Plan because he wants to continue the rampant land conversion and illegal hill cutting, GPCC President Amit Patkar alleged.
