PANJIM: Goa’s witness Chetan Pandit on Wednesday deposed before the Mhadei Water Disputes Tribunal and reiterated that the Mhadei is not a typical Indian River basin.
During cross examination, Pandit said, “Mhadei is a basin with many hotspots of biodiversity and five wildlife sanctuaries apart from typical eco-system.”
However, the tribunal asked Goa to lead evidence on other issues as well.
Additional Solicitor General of India Atmaram N S Nadkarni, appearing for State of Goa, requested more time from the Tribunal to file additional affidavit in lieu of same witness Pandit on other related issues.
