The High Court has directed the Goa government to investigate allegations of irregularities in fee cuts by the Town and Country Planning (TCP) department for zone changes. The court’s directive came in response to a petition alleging that the TCP department was reducing fees arbitrarily for changing land zones. The petition claimed that this practice was leading to substantial losses for the state exchequer. The Goa government has been asked to conduct a thorough probe into the matter and submit a report to the court. The TCP department plays a crucial role in regulating land use and development in the state, making these allegations particularly concerning. The court’s intervention highlights the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability in such key government departments. This development underscores the need for robust oversight mechanisms to prevent any abuse of power or misuse of public resources. The Goa government will need to address these allegations seriously and take appropriate action to ensure that the integrity of the TCP department is upheld. Stay tuned for further updates on this investigation as the Goa government delves deeper into these claims of dodgy fee cuts for zone changes.
