Oct 21 – Chief Minister Pramod Sawant announced today that the Goa government is in the process of drafting rules to streamline the legal acquisition of “no man’s lands.” The SIT on land grabbing has identified several such properties. Under the newly notified Goa Escheats, Forfeiture, and Bona Vacantia Act, 2024, the government is empowered to take over lands that have no claimants or whose owners fail to respond to public notices.
