HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, JUNE 28
“The process for awarding contract for removal of M V River Princess
which has been lying grounded off Candolim beach since June 2000, is in
the final stages and a final decision would be taken after convening a
meeting of the tender committee within this week,” told Advocate General
(AG) Subodh Kantak to the High Court on Monday.
The Division Bench comprising Justice Justice A S Oka and Justice F M
Reis were hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the River
Princess Hatao Manch (RPHM), an association of Candolim people who want
the vessel to be removed at the earliest.
The AG also told the court that the bids of two companies have been
short listed and meeting will be convened within this week to finalise
the award of contract for removal of the vessel and sought time to
convene a meeting of the tender committee and the matter was adjourned
until July 7.
