Along with several others and on behalf of the residents of Sinquetim-Navelim he petitioned the Goa High Court to issue a stay order on the construction of the Sinquetim-Benaulim bridge, which was supported by the incumbent MLA Churchill Alemao, on the grounds that the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests had not sanctioned the project and that it would not be recommended until the CRZ clearance is obtained from the ministry.[3]
