According to reports reaching from Curpem tow of the legislators of Goa Legislative Assembly has began mining inside the Selaulim Water Dam in Samguem. The Selaulim water dam supplies water to over 50% of Goa's population that includes Salcete, Marmagoa and Quepem Talukas. South Goa tourism industry as well as Margao City is dependent upon the water supply from Selaulim Water Dam.
Shantilal mining lease inside the water dam operated by Salgaonkar mining company with India's third largest legislator Anil Salgaokar with declared assets of whopping Rs.92 Crores - elected from Sanvordem Constituency in South Goa - is one of the responsibly irresponsible of the Goa's MLAs that is targeting Goa's Selaulim Dam.
The other colluding MLA is Joaquim Alemao who is also Goa's current Urban Development Minister in Digambar Kamat Cabinet. He is a contrator to operate Salgaokar's business through his firm Raissa mining company.
Salgaokar-Alemao mining nexus has been directing targeting the Selaulim dam from the later half of the first week of February 2009. The operations has been going on amidst tight private security and forest cover on the banks of Selauim dam is already chopped down by this brutal action by the two MLAs and their greed.
It is not yet clear as to what is their source of authority to target Selaulim Dam in this heinous manner.
