Goa’s Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, has revealed intentions to legalize irregular structures on comunidade or private land in the state through the introduction of an ordinance or bill. Sawant emphasized that the government will make a distinction between irregular and illegal constructions, with strict actions to be taken against the latter in accordance with directives from the High Court. This move aims to address the issue of unauthorized constructions in Goa while providing a pathway for regularization of structures that fall under the category of irregularities. The announcement comes as part of the state government’s efforts to streamline the process of addressing building violations and ensuring compliance with regulations. Sawant’s initiative is expected to bring relief to property owners who have been facing uncertainty due to the legality of their structures. The decision to introduce a mechanism for regularization reflects the government’s commitment to fostering a more structured and organized urban development landscape in Goa. By differentiating between irregular and illegal constructions, the authorities seek to strike a balance between enforcement of laws and providing solutions for property owners caught in legal complexities. This development underscores the importance of clear regulations and effective enforcement mechanisms in the real estate sector. The proposed ordinance or bill is anticipated to bring clarity and resolution to the longstanding issue of irregular constructions on comunidade and private land in Goa.
