Goa Fire: Birch by Romeo Lane's illegal salt pan build ignored multiple warnings.

  • Birch by Romeo Lane in Goa was illegally constructed on an ecologically sensitive salt pan, a no-development zone.
  • Documents reveal the land was never meant for commercial activity and was illegally converted for private benefit.
  • A complaint (Dec 2023) and a demolition notice (Apr 2024) were issued due to unauthorized construction and violations.
  • Despite multiple notices, including a show-cause notice from the Deputy Collector (June 2024), the property continued operations.
  • The Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) also issued a show-cause notice for demolition and restoration of the land.

Why It Matters: This exposes official negligence enabling illegal construction on Goa's ecologically sensitive land.
