PANAJI: In the backdrop of rampant irregularities in the outline development plan process and Section 16B approvals, town and country planning (TCP) minister Vishwajit Rane on Monday announced that all approvals would be put under the scanner for discrepancies. Rane said he would not hesitate to suspend or scrap ODPs or approvals for change of zone granted under Section 16B of the TCP act.
Based on ongoing litigation and the objections from people, Rane has sought a review of the ODPs in Goa. “If there are discrepancies and we find a lot of deviations in this review, we can take a drastic decision to suspend the ODP. This will happen at the next board meeting, which I have called for very soon, then we will take a decision on the final ODP and the draft ODPs,” said Rane.
