‘Can demolish only after final order’

Porvorim: Panchayats minister Mauvin Godinho on Thursday said that demolition of the illegal structure in Old Goa’s heritage precinct can be executed “only when a final order is passed for demolition” by the additional director of panchayats-I and provided no appeal or petition is filed challenging the order.

Godinho stated this in a written reply to Cumbarjua MLA Rajesh Faldessai in the House. Faldessai had asked if there was any time-frame fixed by the government to complete the legal formalities needed to demolish the illegal house.

Godinho said that the Old Goa panchayat has already issued a demolition order which was dated February 10, 2022 along with an order dated December 27, 2021 for revocation of its construction and renewal license. tnn
