VASCO, November 12: After receiving a notice from the Chicalim Village Panchayat, Kamal Prasad Yadav has now come under scrutiny from the Velsao-Pale-Issorcim Village Panchayat, which has issued a show-cause notice over alleged unauthorised commercial activities at Survey No. 48\/1, Plot No. 4, Pale village.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Panchayat flags unlicensed hotel rooms, restaurant operations and unpaid taxes; gives seven days to respond before initiating action under Section 72A<\/p>\n

The notice, dated November 5, 2026, and issued by Panchayat Secretary Supresh S. Mayekar, invokes Section 72A of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, as amended in 2025, and warns of possible sealing of the premises if the alleged violations are established.<\/p>\n

According to the notice, the Panchayat’s records indicate that commercial operations involving hotel rooms and a restaurant commenced at the premises on or around June 24, 2022, without the necessary licences.<\/p>\n

The Panchayat has stated that no licence was granted or renewed under Sections 69, 70 or 71 of the Act, which regulate trades and commercial establishments within Panchayat jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

The notice further alleges that commercial activities have continued at the premises and that rental income is being generated despite the absence of the required permissions.<\/p>\n

Significantly, the Panchayat has also raised concerns over unpaid licensing fees, infrastructure tax and house tax relating to the property.<\/p>\n

The notice acknowledges that the premises have not been sealed and that commercial activities have allegedly continued without earlier effective intervention by the Panchayat to regularise or stop them.<\/p>\n

Invoking the provisions of Section 72A, the Panchayat has directed Yadav to explain in writing within seven days of receiving the notice why the commercial operations should not be stopped and the premises sealed.<\/p>\n

He has also been asked to produce relevant documents, including licences, applications, tax payment receipts, lease agreements, details of commercial activities and records of rental income.<\/p>\n

The Panchayat has warned that failure to submit a reply within the stipulated period could result in a decision based on the records available with the authorities.<\/p>\n

Copies of the notice have been forwarded to the Block Development Officer, Mormugao, and the Director of Panchayats.<\/p>\n

Second Panchayat Notice Raises Questions Over Commercial Operations<\/h3>\n

The latest development comes just days after the Chicalim Village Panchayat issued a separate show-cause notice to its own Sarpanch, Kamla Prasad Yadav, and others concerning alleged unauthorised commercial activities at a multi-storeyed complex in Dabolim.<\/p>\n

That notice reportedly concerned approximately 95 shops and residential rooms across properties bearing Survey Nos. 3\/1, 5\/1 and 7\/1. The Chicalim proceedings also raised allegations of commercial operations without licences and unpaid statutory dues. Goa News – Prudent Media +1<\/p>\n

With two Panchayats now initiating separate proceedings, questions arise over how long the alleged commercial activities were allowed to continue without enforcement action.<\/p>\n

The Velsao-Pale-Issorcim notice, however, remains a preliminary proceeding, and the allegations have yet to be finally determined. Yadav is entitled to submit his explanation and supporting documents before further action is taken.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
