Contractor for GMC Goa's new block liable to pay penalty of Rs 2 lakh
Doctor Penalised for Advertising Unrecognised Qualification
Panaji: The Goa State Impact Assessment Authority (Goa-SEIAA) has levied a fine of Rs 2 lakh on the contractor overseeing the construction of the new tertiary cancer care and blood bank project at the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Bambolim. This penalty arises from the contractor's commencement of project activities without obtaining the necessary environmental clearance.
However, the contractor has requested additional time from the authority and has expressed intentions to present a revised project plan, leading to a postponement of the penalty recovery process.
Based on records provided by the Goa State Expert Appraisal Committee (Goa-SEAC), the total work completed until the date of application submission was assessed at Rs 2 crore. Consequently, the authority imposed a fine of Rs 2.1 lakh. Additionally, the Goa-SEIAA acknowledged that the project proponent had, in a letter dated July 14, 2023, sought to delay the matter until approval was granted for the revised project plans.
