Press Release

The GBA wishes to inform the public that it has uploaded the village plans of Mormugao, Bardez, Tiswadi and Salcette on its website www.savegoa.com

These are as provided by the TCP department and can be used as a quick check for concerned persons and villages, especially in the time it takes to receive the hard copies from the TCP Department.


In addition GBA has obtained copies of NOC’s given for construction based on the old RP2001which was operational till the notification of the final RP 2021. Proposed roads have been present in the earlier RP2001 and continue to be a sore point with the current RP2021.

The copies of NOCs for constructions [issued to various parties by TCP dept.] were given to GBA as per the demand that was made at the "structured meeting" with the Chief Secretary and Town & Country Planning department in August 2011. The NOC’s received cover Sanguem, Quepem and Bardez, while those of other talukas are awaited. Individuals interested in inspections may contact the GBA on *8888707083*. A study of these by concerned villagers may reveal the vested interests regarding proposed roads of large width, or other details for correction in the current notified plans.

The GBA understands that the notified plan 2021 has superceded the outdated RP2001, and seeks to demarcate clearly areas that are Eco-sensitive. *In the absence of the RP2021 the RP2001 will be in force. *It is the responsibility of the Village Panchayats & Village level committees to study this and make efforts at correction of errors. The TCP Department must act quickly and in transparency, seriously responding to the issue of proposed roads and the problems they are creating in the villages before it clouds the positives the new RP2021 has sought to make.
