To carry out any construction in its operational area
Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) will now have to obtain prior permission from the Goa government authorities. The State’s Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) has directed MPT to submit a layout and building plans of the area allotted to MPT, along with a master plan for future development to the statutory authorities.
MPT has also been instructed not to undertake any construction without approval from the municipality and planning development authority (PDA). A letter to the effect was sent to MPT by DMA on May 23, after it received a directive from the government.
DMA Director Elvis Gomes said the letter was sent to MPT after Revenue Department intimated DMA of the state government’s decision. A government order dated January 30, 1987, gave MPT liberty to construct in the port operational area without obtaining prior permission but keeping the municipality and PDA informed of the works to be taken up.
