I strongly condemn this act of favouring Delta Corp by denotifying nearly 3,33,805 sq. metres of land from the Command Area Development Authority (CADA),\u201d Alemao said.<\/p>\n<p>He further said that the government\u2019s intentions are dubious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are convinced that this government wants to establish a \u2018Casino City\u2019 in Dhargal. This decision is driven by the hefty hafta collected from casino operators. Without such vested interests, the government would never have denotified this land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alemao criticized the public consultation process, calling it a mere formality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuggestions and objections from citizens are ignored. The government has already decided to sell our land to casinos. First, they polluted the Mandovi river, and now they are attempting to pollute the culture of our villages by inviting casinos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Congress leader vowed to raise the matter again in the forthcoming Assembly session and demand clarification from Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis government is completely under the control of the casino lobby and its crony capitalist allies. The move to denotify 3.33 lakh sq. mt. of Tillari command area land is proof of that,\u201d Alemao asserted.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panaji : Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Wednesday strongly condemned the BJP Government\u2019s decision to denotify 3.33 lakh sq. mt. of command area land under the Tillari Irrigation Project&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5682,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gaonkaari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/images-1-1.jpeg?fit=168%2C301&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5683,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5680\/revisions\/5683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaonkaari.com\/mr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
