‘Structures legal if they predate land's declaration as khazan'

Panaji: Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) has said that henceforth coastal regulation zone (CRZ) norms will not be made applicable retrospectively to structures which have been existing on lands declared khazan areas in the Coastal Zone Management Plan, 2011. GCZMA said that the plan was notified only in 2022, while some structures on khazan lands have been in existence much before that. The coastal body had received a complaint from the general secretary of the tenants' association of Camarkhazan, Mapusa, alleging that an illegal construction of permanent nature was carried out on the khazan land of the Moira river. The association said that a bar and restaurant were being run from this structure. It was alleged that no permission was taken to convert the khazan land to carry out the construction. Based on the complaint, an inspection was carried out by GCZMA and it was found that the site is completely identified as khazan land as stipulated by the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP), 2011. The authority noted that the land was declared a khazan area on Sep 7, 2022. 'With regards to the whole plot falling within the khazan land area, as per the CZMP 2011 as declared on Sep 7, 2022; these structures will not be affected as these structures were standing long before the area was declared as a khazan land,' GCZMA said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 축하드립니다! 임플란트 5월 할인 이벤트에 선정되셨습니다. 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo 'This declaration in the CZMP 2011 on Sep 7, 2022, will now not apply retroactively to any structure existing before the area being declared as khazan land area.' The show-cause notice against the person who constructed the structure has been withdrawn. GCZMA also said that the person who constructed the structure had all the necessary permissions since 2018. 'The structures are outside the CRZ II area and since the structures are outside the mangrove buffer; this show-cause notice is dropped, as moreover, the respondent had earlier already obtained the necessary relevant permissions,' GCZMA said.
