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.
