POINGUINIM: A video clip of a structure in violation of Coastal Regulation Zone being constructed at Cabo-de-Rama in Khola village panchayat has gone viral.
When Kuddi panch Guru Velip visited the secluded spot he found some workers at the construction site where material was dumped. After the workers were not ready to disclose the name of the owner, nor the type of project, Velip ordered them to stop the work and demanded to see the licence for the work which they couldn't produce. Velip said that a few coconut trees have been felled which were obstructing the structure being built. He said that the work was carried out at a faster pace to take advantage of the weekend.
Velip informed the Khola village panchayat sarpanch Purna Nayak of the issue who said she was not aware of any illegal construction but said that she had been intimated of the issue by the area panch Guru Velip. She also said that no no-objection certificate (NOC) has been issued to such a project and that she will stop the work if there are no legal documents.
