Govt tightens tree-felling rules;consent from all co-owners must
Goa's government has implemented stricter rules for tree felling permissions under the Goa Preservation of Trees Act, 1984. New guidelines mandate consent from all co-owners, public disclosure of granted permissions, and digital mapping of felled areas. Clear timelines for decision-making and a mandatory 10-day waiting period before felling are also introduced to enhance transparency and safeguard appeal rights.
