Canacona Communidade harassing land occupants' BY HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, JAN 26 - Former Canacona MLA, Sanjay Bandekar has sought the intervention of Governor S C Jamir to stop what he called as harassment of occupants of Communidade land in Canacona. Addressing a press conference today, Bandekar claimed that the office bearers of the local Canacona Communidade have been harassing the occupants of the land with threats to demolish the houses. According to him, the Communidade officials have no right to demolish houses or evict persons staying on the land for years as per the 2001 Government decision. Suspecting a political hand behind the decision of the Communidade, Bandekar said he has asked the Governor to intervene in the matter and regularise the land being held by the occupants and who are ready to pay for the land. -- Salaam ali kum.
