Casino coming up in Pernem, oppose it, says NGO

The casino in Pernem taluka is becoming a reality. The Pernem mamletdar has given permission to set up a starred resort at the Oxelbhag-Dhargal, a few kilometers away from Mopa airport adjacent to the national highway which would house a casino, Goencho Awaaz activist Suryakant Chodankar alleged.

 He said Pednekars should oppose this project. Tourism Minister Manohar Babu Azgaonkar had earlier refuted possibilities of casinos coming up near the Mopa airport.
