PONDA: Dairy farmers supplying milk to Goa Dairy have expressed unhappiness over the current events at the premier co-operative society in Goa.
Commenting on the tussle among the Goa Dairy chairman, its board of directors and its managing director, a dairy farmer Rajesh Desai said that the government should conduct an inquiry into allegations levelled against MD Navso Sawant.
Desai also demanded an investigation into the affairs of Goa Dairy to find the reasons for the losses suffered by the milk producer.
According to the Chairman of Inquiry Committee, Dattaprasad Savordekar, the registrar of cooperative societies should conduct an inquiry into the allegations levelled against Sawant.
“Moreover, since all important documents are in the custody of Sawant, the registrar of cooperative societies should immediately conduct an inquiry against the MD,” he said.
Meanwhile, Savordekar criticised the eight directors who have moved a no confidence motion against Goa Dairy chairman. He said that the eight directors acted hastily without seriously looking into allegations levelled against Sawant by the chairman.
He also alleged that some of the Goa Dairy directors encouraged Sawant to occupy his cabin and not to vacate the post.
Savordekar was appointed the chairman of inquiry committee by the Annual General Body of 170 milk supplying societies of Goa Dairy.
He was appointed to conduct an inquiry into the loss of Rs 5 crore suffered by the Cattlefeed plant during the last financial year. He was also asked to inquire into the other affairs of Goa Dairy.
Meanwhile, Sawant has declared that he is ready to face any inquiry by any authority.
