).Despite protests, Chandrakant Kavlekar, Deputy Chief Minister and Town and County Planning Minister, stated that permissions and licenses for the construction were illegally obtained.The local village panchayat also revoked permissions and served the original land owner with a show cause notice.

Goa Archbishop Fr.Filipe Neri Ferrao last week also warned politicians against such illegalities, especially at heritage sites endorsed by UNESCO.

The Congress also said that the scope of enquiry announced into the illegal structure by Union Tourism and Culture Minister G.Kishen Reddy on December 4 should be widened and not just limited to violations of heritage laws.

“G.Kishen Reddy said that there would be an enquiry.We want to know if this inquiry is to only bless all the illegalities or if it will be conducted independently by an agency to expose them and bring them to justice.D’Souza stated .

” He has only spoken about ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), as he is a central Minister.We want an exhaustive inquiry that covers both the Central and state government departments, as well as town planning authorities, and all departments that gave permission for this structure.

All of this should be investigated and the inquiry should be open to all.People not only want the structure demolished, they also do not want such frauds and such illegalities,” he added.
