Congress MLA Carlos Alvares Ferreira recently voiced concerns regarding notifications involving land use in Goa. Alongside other state Congress members, Ferreira criticized the state government for allegedly permitting unauthorized land conversions, especially in areas like Aldona, where he cited irregularities in paddy field conversions. His remarks came during a broader protest organized by Congress leaders, who alleged that BJP-affiliated individuals had benefited from these land deals under the protection of top state officials. The Goa government, however, defended its actions, denying any misconduct by state officials in these conversions​.
