We cannot lose this fight because it will be the death of our life line, meaning death of Goa. The TCP has announced the ‘Goa Land Development and Building Construction (Amendment) Regulations 2023’ and have given 30 days time for citizens to file objections. The ward plans can become a plan for the panchayat and panchayat plans for the district and district plans for the State plan. Once accepted the land gets locked for any further development and the owner can use his TDR in a permitted development. This will take the pressure of land owners to change zones and TCP to pass amendments to facilitate the same.
