Team Goemkarponn PANAJI: The Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) has come down heavily on the Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) for carrying out large-scale excavation and sand levelling activities at Morjim beach under the pretext of beautification, allegedly causing serious ecological damage to the turtle-nesting coastline.

Gwalior: Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said that Operation Sindoor, conducted in May, reshaped India’s approach to warfare and sent a clear message that Pakistan’s nuclear threats would no longer dictate regional stability. Speaking at the 128th Foundation Day of Scindia School in Gwalior, General Chauhan said the successful mission marked a decisive shift—showing that talks and terrorism cannot go hand in hand. “Operation Sindoor created a new matrix of decision and timing in warfare. Pakistan thought it could do anything with nuclear capability, but the operation proved it wrong,” he said. The CDS stressed…

Team Goemkarponn PANAJI: In a bid to fast-track infrastructure development, the Goa government has decided to prioritise projects under central government schemes that provide full (100%) financial assistance.

These consultants will be tasked with preparing detailed project reports (DPRs), submitting proposals, and ensuring compliance with the guidelines of relevant central ministries. Officials said…

Team Goemkarponn PANAJI: The Goa government has informed the High Court of Bombay at Goa that the process of appointing a new Lokayukta is in progress and is expected to be completed within six weeks.

The Directorate of Vigilance had first written to the Chief Secretary in February 2025 to begin shortlisting candidates, but the procedure saw little movement until recently. The post of Lokayukta has remained vacant since December…
