The High Court has directed the Goa government to investigate allegations of irregularities in fee reductions by the Town and Country Planning (TCP) department for zone changes. The court’s directive came in response to a petition that claimed the TCP department was reducing fees for changing zoning regulations in a questionable manner. The petition alleged that the fee reductions were being made without following proper procedures and regulations. The court has asked the government to conduct a thorough probe into the matter and submit a report. The TCP department plays a crucial role in regulating land use and development in the state. Any irregularities in its functioning can have far-reaching consequences for urban planning and development. The court’s intervention underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in government processes. It remains to be seen how the government responds to the court’s directive and what actions are taken to address the allegations of dodgy fee cuts. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
