The Maharashtra government has ordered a probe into land transactions carried out over the past three years in Dodamarg and Sawantwadi after the operationalisation of Mopa Airport. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule alleged that outsiders purchased agricultural land by posing as farmers and said action will follow based on the inquiry report. • WRD Minister Subhash Shirodkar said Karnataka withdrawing its Supreme Court petitions on the Mhadei dispute will have no legal impact, as Goa's and Maharashtra's pleas remain pending. He also said Karnataka will still face contempt proceedings over alleged Kalasa-Bhanduri works carried out without mandatory clearances. • A two-wheeler rider was injured after a goods carrier collided with the motorcycle on the Mapusa–Moira–Aldona Road; The injured rider was shifted to the North Goa District Hospital, Mapusa, and later referred to GMC Bambolim for advanced treatment. • I will take legal action and also ask the party on what basis I was suspended. They have defamed me through this action, so I will seek the committee's report detailing the alleged anti-party activities for which I was expelled. I will also seek an explanation from the party high command whenever I get an opportunity to meet them: Manisha Usgaonkar • We are confident of forging a broader alliance with all Opposition parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). We are ready to approach any party for an alliance because the people of Goa have given us the message to take the lead in uniting the Opposition. We have already held preliminary talks with all the parties, and formal discussions will begin soon: GPCC president Girish Chodankar • A complaint has sought registration of an FIR against Rohidas L. Naik, Shrikrishna Haldankar, Tarak Arolkar, Charudatt Panjikar, Avinash Shirodkar and others over alleged cheating, criminal breach of trust, criminal conspiracy, misrepresentation, misuse of the Gomantak Bhandari Samaj's name, and irregularities in the collection and utilisation of donations under the BNS, 2023. • Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said he has urged the Karnataka government to withdraw its pending Supreme Court cases related to the Mhadei river dispute to remove administrative hurdles and expedite project clearances. He said the Karnataka CM responded positively, adding that the move would help resolve the water dispute through Centre-state cooperation.
