Acting swiftly, Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco not only inspected, but also stopped the illegal hill cutting that was undertaken at Raia, on Monday. The irony is that the illegal act was being carried out to construct a housing colony for former protectors of law. More than 5000 sq mts of hilly land at Dagwado in Raia which is just behind the house of former minister Aleixo Sequeira was being cut ostensibly to build a housing colony for ex-policemen’s co-operative society.

Neither the society nor the contractor had obtained any licence from the panchayat or the Town and Country Planning. Taking advantage of the fact that government offices were closed for Ganesh celebrations, the hill was brazenly cut. However, on hearing about the illegal hill cutting, Reginaldo rushed to the site and told the perpetrators of the illegal act to immediately stop it.
