Illegal constructions proliferation is bane of Goa's housing boon.The cries and heart wrenching wails of Sangolda residents evoke sympathy and emphaty as human beings caught in crossfire of law. Plight of 600 homeless residents close to moonsons is pathetic. Look at the illegal bungalow standing tall at Old Goa. Protests ,hunger strikes ,legal remedies have failed to move the authorities into action. Defiance of law and statutes needs no mercy but different set of standards for the marginalised poor and rich raises doubts of partiality. Why are the local bodies spared , when they deliberately overlooked illegalities without title?.How licence was issued or connections of water, electricity and house numbers perpetuating illegalities by encroachments on private, commuidade land .It is not figment of imaginations that bribes and illegal gratification have not been exchanged to overlook willful violations of number of units. Those culprits guilty of direlections of duty to enforce compliance to rules must equally be subjected to strict scrutiny and exemplary punishment. Facilitators must be booked and do not condemn law enforcement agencies for doing their duty Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
