A discussion has surfaced in Pernem regarding potential encroachment on the remaining land of the Goa Darbar Hotel located at Malpe. Reports suggest that the tourism department’s land, which is still in question, may have been encroached upon. The controversy stems from the sale of around 1000 square meters of this land to a private party about 4-5 years ago.
This has raised questions about whether the government has sold any additional portions of the land, especially since it appears that a foundation stone laying ceremony has recently been performed on the site. The local community is now speculating whether this could indicate that the remaining land is being transferred or developed by private parties.
When the issue was raised with the local sarpanch, he clarified that the panchayat had not received any formal communication or notification about any projects being initiated on the land in question. This has further fueled concerns among local residents, who are worried about the potential misuse or improper sale of public land.
Authorities are urged to investigate the matter thoroughly and provide clarity to the public about the future of the Goa Darbar Hotel land and any ongoing development plans. The situation remains under discussion, with locals keen on ensuring transparency and the rightful use of public property.
