VALPOI, June 2 -- Even as agitations after agitations are being held in Goa to ensure the precious waters of River Mhadei are not diverted to Karnataka, an in-depth investigation by Herald TV has revealed how the majestic Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary and its surrounding areas are being butchered right, left and centre.

Herald TV over the last few days camped, investigated and even verified how illicit activities are being carried out in the pristine forests of Mhadei and its river. From forest patches being burnt and cleared, to illegal sand mining and even the entry of forest guards being banned inside the green lungs of Goa, she is not spared.
