The High Court has directed the Goa government to investigate allegations of questionable fee reductions by the Town and Country Planning (TCP) department for zone changes. The court’s directive came in response to a petition filed by a social activist challenging the reduced fees for changing land-use zones. The activist alleged that the TCP department was offering these reductions without authority and in violation of the law. The court has asked the government to look into the matter and submit a report within four weeks. The TCP department has been under scrutiny for its handling of land-use changes and allegations of favoritism in the past. This latest directive from the High Court puts further pressure on the department to ensure transparency and adherence to regulations in its processes.
