MARGAO: The SEZ Virodhi Manch (SVM) has condemned the statement of the Goa Industrial Development Corporation chairman, Chandrakant 'Babu' Kavlekar, that land was allotted to SEZ promoters based on the central government's policy to encourage SEZs in the state.

The SVM pointed out that the high court of Bombay at Goa has rejected all the above frivolous submissions in its judgment while quashing the allotments made for SEZs.

"The chairman fails to explain how and why the GIDC allotted the lands for SEZ when no SEZ policy existed in the state at that time," the press note states. The SVM has also demanded an immediate judicial or CBI inquiry into the allotment of land for SEZs.
