Chicalimkars claim a major victory as the Panchayat suspends the trade license of Abhishek Engineers over illegal land reclamation. Authorities have ordered the restoration of the reclaimed land, marking a significant win for locals fighting against unauthorized activities. Residents celebrate the decision, calling it a step towards justice and environmental protection.

In a landmark decision, the Village Panchayat of Chicalim has officially suspended the trade license of M/s Abhishek Engineers for illegally reclaiming land from the Zuari River at Chicalim Bay. The suspension order, issued on 4th March 2025, comes after persistent efforts by the Chicalim Villagers Action Committee (CVAC), which has fought a 15-year-long battle to restore the land to its original condition.

The Panchayat has made it clear that the trade license will remain suspended until the Captain of Ports Department certifies that the restoration work has been satisfactorily completed. The decision follows mounting concerns over environmental damage caused by unauthorized reclamation.

On 5th March 2025, a site inspection was conducted by officials from the Captain of Ports, Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority, Goa State Biodiversity Board, DRDA South, and local stakeholders, including CVAC. The inspection aimed to assess the restoration progress and ensure compliance with environmental norms.

CVAC President Cyril Fernandes expressed a huge sigh of relief over the Panchayat’s decision, calling it a major victory for Chicalim residents and Goa’s coastal environment. The move is seen as a strong message against illegal land reclamation and a step towards sustainable development.#goa #mormugao #navinjha #news #vasco #sancoale #mauvingodinho
