PANJIM: Advocate Amit Palekar’s health started deteriorating on the third day of his indefinite hunger strike. However, he is determined to continue his fast and demands that the illegal construction at the heritage site must be demolished and guilty should be punished.
Reacting to Town & Country Planning (TCP) Department’s revocation order, Palekar said, “I will study the order until then my fast will be on. Panchayat has also issued a stop-work notice but this is not enough. It’s just a white wash. Nobody is talking about demolition order. Once panchayat issues demolition order then we can believe what the authorities are saying.”

“The authorities are calling it fraud play. But to do such type of forgery one need support from the concerned officials. If the officials are saying this is fraud play, then they should come out clean and should announce the names of culprits,” he said.
When Goans got news on his health condition, Goans are coming out in support of Amit Palekar. A woman at the protest site said, “We support him. The construction is very illegal. This is not a place for holiday but it is a place to offer prayers. May God bless him”.
