Marriott retaining wall prevents erosion, must stay up, says GCZMA

Panaji: Disposing of a long-standing matter, the Goa coastal zone management authority (GCZMA) recently decided that the Goa Marriott at Miramar should be allowed to keep its retaining wall. Goa Foundation had sought its demolition as a violation of CRZ norms. However, GCZMA relied on reports by the WRD and the central water and power research station (CWPRS), which functions under the Union Jal Shakti ministry.

The reports stated that the retaining wall was necessary in the anti-erosion measures being taken by the WRD from the Campal Park up to the hotel stretch of the Mandovi bank. Goa Foundation had argued that there was no need to call for the report from the CWPRS, Pune, when an earlier high court ruling in the matter had decided on its legality.[Readmore]
