WHAT WILL IT DO TO GOA?
* Deplete natural resources like forest cover, etc. leading to ecological
imbalances. (Link)
* Allowable FAR of 80% for the new settlement areas will turn green areas
into concrete jungles, e.g. the Tata Housing Complex at Betim which uses the
full FAR. (link)
* Pressure on already saturated infrastructure like water, electricity,
sanitation, waste disposal etc. as the new settlement areas will be more
resource-intensive compared to the existing mainly rural settlements. (link)
* Increase in migrant population along with the accompanying social problems
like increased crime, begging, etc. (link)
* False, sudden boom followed by an eventual crash in the building and real
estate industry.

Be our eyes and ears - keep a watch out for any irregularities that you may
spot in Goa such as tree cutting, hill cutting, construction within the
CRZ - Coastal Zone. It would help if you first check if all permissions are
obtained so that we can differentiate between authorized and illegal
constructions. You can apply under the Right to Information Act for copies
of these permissions.
