Former corp alleges mangroves cut to build road

21 Oct 2021 06:20 PM

Mangroves have been cut and a 150 meters long road constructed at Mala, former Panaji Corporator Menino D’Cruz alleged on Thursday.



 He said that he had filed complaint with forest department, CCP and other seven departments. But, besides the forest department, no other department has taken cognizance, he alleged. 

 A few day back such an incident was reported at Miramar. Now, this is the second incident of chopping mangroves – this time at Mala. Around 40-50 mangroves have been felled and a 150 meters long road constructed. A toilet is constructed inside but it has no sewerage. Is there no one to take cognizance of this blatant illegality, Menino alleged.
