High Court has revoked construction license issued by Mollem Panchayat to the Tamnar Power Project transmission line substation at Sangod. The license has been cancelled because it was issued by Sarpanch without a resolution in the Panchayat. Now the application for construction license for the substation will be placed before the panchayat body.
Goa Tamnar Transmission Project Ltd (GTTPL) in its statement has tried to downplay the impact of these development projects on the ecology, claiming only 1,000 trees will be felled in the wildlife sanctuary.
