Is Goa Being Sold? The Truth Behind Section 39A & The Shirdon Land War

Описание: A 1400-year-old cave, a local MLA dragged by police, and lakhs of square meters of green land turned into concrete. Is Section 39A a development tool or a "legal bypass" for builders?

Video Summary
In this investigative episode of "The Debate," we dive deep into the rising tension over the Goa Town and Country Planning (TCP) Act’s new Section 39A. Following the removal of Section 16B, this new amendment has sparked a massive outcry in Shirdon-Pale, where over 84,000 sq. meters of orchard and eco-sensitive land are being converted for private development.

We analyze the conflict from both sides:

The Government’s Stance: Why Minister Vishwajit Rane claims Section 39A is necessary for correcting regional plan errors and boosting Goa's economy.

The People’s Protest: Why MLA Viresh Borkar and the Goa Foundation are fighting to save the laterite plateaus, ST community rights, and the historic Mhatari-chi Honti cave.

Is this sustainable development or an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen? Watch the full debate to understand the numbers, the laws, and the high-stakes battle for Goa’s future.
