Govt warned against allowing more casinos

An anti-casino dharna was held in Panjim today with a clear warning going out to the Government that the agitation would be intensified if any more casinos are allowed.
The protest was organized by Aam Aurat Admi Against Gambling (AAAG) – a forum of concerned organizations and individuals - near Fisheries Building which also houses Casino office.
They shouted slogans against the Government’s liberal policy on casinos.
The protesters called upon the Government to stop granting gambling licences to casinos and demanded that licences granted so far should be revoked for not just off-shore casinos but also on-shore ones.
Leading the protest Sabina Martins of Bailancho Saad demanded that the Government should reject all the applications for licences seeking to run gambling activities on their premises or on off-shore vessels.
She also demanded a clamp down on all illegal gambling like matka and that all amendments to the Goa Public Gambling Act 1976 should be revoked.
Talking to reporters she made it clear that the AAAG would not hesitate to intensify the agitation if their demands are not met. Martins said they would involve various sections of the society against casinos in Goa. She also threatened to block the entry of customers to the casino here if the Government fails to act.
