Goa Nightclub Ordered to Restore Illegally Converted Land

A Goa nightclub has been ordered to return land following illegal construction. Authorities detected violations including unauthorized land use conversion. The club must pay Rs 15 lakh and restore the land, as part of actions linked to the 'Birch by Romeo Lane' fire tragedy that killed 25 people.

In a significant crackdown, a nightclub in Anjuna, Goa, has been ordered to revert the illegally converted land back to its original use. This directive comes on the heels of a devastating fire tragedy at another club that claimed 25 lives.

The 'Goya Goa' club faces closure after authorities found it transformed agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes without permission. Deputy Collector Varsha Parab imposed a fine of Rs 15 lakh on the club.

The action follows violations reported under the Goa Land Revenue Code. The club management must comply within 30 days to avoid further penalties.
