In a complaint to the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) and other authorities, the CCF said the illegal activity in Survey No. 339 of Calangute 'is causing irreversible damage to an ecologically sensitive zone that plays a critical role in flood regulation, biodiversity conservation, and cultural heritage'.
'We strongly urge all relevant authorities, including the GCZMA, TCP, GSBB and GSPCB to immediately inspect the ongoing illegal activity, identify and penalise the violators,' it added.
