Goa MLA Ends Fast After Government Cancels Projects Under TCP Act Section 39A

Goa MLA Viresh Borkar ended his six-day fast after North Goa collector Ankit Yadav presented a letter canceling all projects approved under section 39A of the Town and Country Planning (TCP) Act in the St Andre constituency. Borkar had protested against zone changes in Pale-Siridao village empowered by section 39A. Earlier, he and 28 others were booked for allegedly stealing files and items from the TCP department during the protest, charges disputed by supporters citing police presence and CCTV coverage. Borkar stated his campaign to protect Goa would continue.
