Pictures of illegal sand mining in Mandovi River near Vanxim - Divar Ferry

 This is a latest instance of illegal sand mining in Mandovi near Vanxim island.

Complaint about illegal sand mining was lodged by Bharat Mukti Morcha in May 2015. Here is copy of the complaint.

There is wide spread opinion that local police at Old Goa are on regular pay roll of the illegal sand miners. Since Mining Minister is Laximikant Parsekar it cannot be ruled out that percentage of the "haftas" (Bribes) collected is channeled to him as well. Political Parties needs to be brought under the purview of the Right to Information Act 2005 to check as to who is funding Political Parties that are ruling as well as Opposition to speak as well as to maintain strategic silence on certain issues.
