The High Court also took up the issue of the proposed animal shelter at Curca. The Town and Country Planning Department granted technical clearance to the CCP’s proposal on October 15, and an application for a construction licence followed on October 16 before the Curca-Bambolim-Talaulim Village Panchayat.
As the panchayat secretary was absent, the Bench directed the panchayat to place the application on the agenda for immediate consideration, either at its scheduled meeting or at a special meeting within the week.
On the stray dog census, the court noted that municipal councils and the CCP had submitted survey reports to the department while several village panchayats had failed to do so. The Bench directed the Director of Panchayats to initiate disciplinary proceedings against secretaries who miss the deadline and report the action taken to the court.
