Alleging that Illegal land grabbing by the land mafia is going on on a large scale at Assagao, Adv. Ferreira claimed that documents through RTI revealed that the land mafia had tried to usurp Comunidade land by falsifying the documents.
He also alleged that a former MLA and the land mafia were involved in this case. “All land sale deeds and other documents in this matter should be properly scrutinised. Action should be taken against all those officers involved in this case.”
Congress District President Virendra Shirodkar, Rajan Ghate and Lawrence Sequeira were also present at the news conference.
