    Digital Goa, Dec 13- High Court today granted hotel owner an additional three months to demolish his four-storeyed structure at Girkar wada in Arambol on condition that owner pays a security deposit of Rs 45 lakh in 20 days. The hotel was ordered to be demolished after it was found to be operating without valid permissions. Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) had pegged the cost to demolish the structure at Rs 45 lakh. High court had ordered the demolition of the building and had directed the deputy collector and Pernem police to seal the building on October 25 and to disconnect electricity and water connections to the building within 48 hours. The hotel owner then gave an assurance to the court that he will demolish the construction himself within six weeks.
