Restaurant on property owned by former Goa CM sealed for illegal construction

It further said that the survey plan also depicts a major part as a water body. “The regional plan depicts [it] as a salt pan. Form 3 of survey number 52/1 depicts a salt pan,” it added.

“Considering all the above and status of land of survey no 52/1 of Arambol village, [it] clearly proves that the structures mentioned above by the talathi have been erected in the salt pan without obtaining any permissions from the government authorities and being used for the commercial activities,” it said. Considering the incident took place at Romeo Lane in Arpora village, it is necessary to take precautions to save the lives of the people who visit that place, the order said.

“Since the said structures are running without obtaining the permissions from the competent authorities…there is a need to stop the operations immediately in order to safeguard the lives of the people. Hence, I hereby order the mamlatdar of Pernem taluka to seal all the premises of survey number 52/1 of Arambol village immediately by vacating the people therein and report compliance,” it said.

Former BJP leader Parsekar was the chief minister of Goa between 2014 and 2017. He, however, denied any wrongdoing, claiming that he had leased the property to another person, who had been operating the restaurant.

“My role ends when I lease out the property. It is for the person who has leased the property to get the required permissions,” he told media persons.
