Goa panchayat gives clean chit to Haryana CM

A local panchayat has cleared the name of Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in a controversy relating to a structure at a village 25 km from Panaji.

Assagao Sarpanch Prakash Naik said they verified all documents after some locals had claimed that the structure was illegal and found out that it is owned by Satori Infrastructure.

He said there were no illegalities and some local people had unnecessarily raised a controversy during a gram sabha meeting. “I don’t know how Hooda’s name appeared in the controversy. I was surprised to see Hooda’s name being
carried in a local newspaper in connection with the controversy,” Naik said.
