PANJIM:
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) spokesperson and Minority Committee Chairman
Urfan Mulla, has alleged two scams in the Housing Board colonies at Gogol and Maruti
Mandir, Margao, that took place in 2005 and 2014 respectively.
Addressing
the media, Mulla accused then Housing Board Managing Director as well as municipality
officials and builders of illegally developing plots at Gogol in an open space
of 3520 sq mts, which was actually meant for children to play, and selling them
at cheap rates.
He
said it’s been 10 years that these occupants are residing at this colony and are
unaware of the illegality and have now received an order from the Housing Board
to vacate the houses, after Congress filed a RTI in the matter.
He
also alleged there are two houses at the Housing Board Colony (Maruti Mandir) one
of which has been illegally sold to a driver without proper permission from the
board. He added that they are in the process of filing a complaint on the
matter with the Lokayukta, within the next eight days.
