In a significant development, the Chief Minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant, has unveiled plans to legalize irregular structures on comunidade or private land in the state through the introduction of an ordinance or bill. Sawant emphasized that there will be a clear distinction made by the government between irregular and illegal constructions, with stringent actions to be taken against the latter in accordance with directives from the High Court. This move is aimed at addressing the longstanding issue of unauthorized structures in Goa and bringing clarity to the regulatory framework governing land development. The decision comes as a relief to many property owners who have been grappling with uncertainties surrounding the legality of their constructions. By regularizing these structures, the government hopes to streamline the process of land development and provide a pathway for property owners to legitimize their holdings. The announcement has been welcomed by various stakeholders in the real estate sector and is expected to have a positive impact on Goa’s overall property market. As the state government moves forward with the implementation of this initiative, it is likely to bring about a more structured and transparent system for land use planning and development in Goa. This proactive approach by the Chief Minister reflects a commitment to addressing key issues in the state’s real estate sector and fostering a conducive environment for property owners and developers alike.
