Revenue minister Jose Philip D'Souza was replying to a calling attention motion moved by Priol MLA Pandurang Deepak Dhavalikar in the house on Tuesday. Dhavalikar stated that there was "fear and anxiety in the minds of the people over cases of illegal conversion of agricultural land in Goa and the non-implementation of provisions of the Act/rules and laws made thereunder and the inaction of the government to tackle the issue effectively". In his reply, D'Souza said, "I deny that there is fear and anxiety in the minds of the people for inaction or cases of illegal conversion of agricultural land." [end of excerpt] Mario observes: Memo to Carmen and Ana Maria Dear Ladies, I suggest you put Revenue minister Jose Philip D'Souza high on your list of people to talk to during Carmen's next trip to Goa. It sounds like he needs some help.
