A draft bill aimed at speeding up the issuance of shack licences is set to be debated in the Goa Assembly before its session tomorrow.
Goa lawmakers are set to discuss a draft bill that seeks to fast‑track the granting of shack licences. The proposal, highlighted by assembly member Rohan, aims to reduce bureaucratic delays that have long affected informal traders and residents operating temporary structures.
If passed, the bill would introduce streamlined procedures and set tighter timelines for licence approvals, allowing shack operators to obtain permits before the upcoming assembly session. Officials say the move is intended to support livelihoods while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The discussion is scheduled for the assembly meeting tomorrow, and the bill’s progress will be closely watched by local business groups and civic bodies that rely on swift licensing processes.
