Rampant mining in Goa's Forest in Sanguem

A.X.P Palondicar mining lease 17/49 operated by Mr. Palondicar in collaboration with some unknown contractors from Andhra Pradesh is operating in Forest area in Survey number 72 of Colomba village in Sanguem Taluka. Its Public Hearing was conducted on 25th July 2009. Survey number 72 is declared Government Forest under Sawant and Karapurkar committee. It is declared as 'No Development Zone' in Goa Regional Plan 2021.

Presently massive cutting down of Forest is in Progress. One of the sources of Kushavati river known as "Unannatly Volli" originates here. This very source of water is being brutally destroyed. It is very pleasant and and cool place but now the work is in progress to destroy this forever. Our Goa Government is responsible for this ongoing genocide of Goa and it will have to be answerable now to people of Goa as well as to the Universe.
