Why 6th casino? Approach Supreme Court, Cong urges the Govt

It has also urged the BJP-led coalition government to approach the Supreme Court rather than keeping quiet on the high court order of allowing former Haryana minister Gopal Kanda’s casino.

AICCSecretary Chodankar held a press conference in Panaji on Thursday morning and made it clear that the Congress would like the state government to take up the casino matter in to the Supreme Court like the Government had done it for the Panchayat Polls issue in the State.

By evening, Curtorim Congress MLA Reginaldo Lourenco had a press conference in Madgao on the same issue.

He explained how getting the sixth casino from Mormugao harbor to river Mandovi could be a disaster.

He is planning to file an intervention application to stop the entry of the sixth casino in river Mandovi.
