The Goa Backyard Alliance (GBA) is a prominent environmental and social advocacy group in Goa that focuses on issues related to urban development, environmental protection, and community well-being.
The high court ruling invalidated certain rules and regulations under Section 17 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (TCP) Act, which had been used to favor real estate developers by allowing them to bypass crucial environmental and zoning laws.
The TCP minister supports real estate developers because he believes the industry is a significant contributor to the state's economy and provides essential housing and commercial spaces, promoting economic growth.
The GBA raises concerns about the negative impact of rapid and unregulated real estate development on Goa's natural resources and the quality of life for its residents, including environmental degradation and loss of green spaces.
Environmental experts propose measures such as stricter environmental impact assessments, the preservation of green spaces, and the enforcement of zoning laws to protect sensitive areas and promote sustainable development.
