Goa government

Soon, fun may not be 'in' in Goa.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has joined hands with the Goa government to build a state-of-the-art centre of excellence in Goa, an official said Wednesday.

A leading trade body here Tuesday demanded a roll back on the proposed power tariff increase by the Goa government as it would hit the industry hard.

In a shocking incident, an illegal laterite stone mine was found on the site of an upcoming national and an international games events in Goa, prompting government to launch an inquiry into it, officials said. The state has hogged headlines for rampant illegal iron-ore mining.

The Goa government’s decision to quickly complete a controversial airport project at Mopa near the Maharashtra border is being criticised by the state’s political parties and civil society members.

One may just have to wait for a few more years until Goa's beaches have their own avatars of Pamela Anderson-like women lifeguards.

A Goa government-run minor port at Panaji, which has allegedly been the clearing house for millions of tonnes of dubiously sourced iron ore, could be back in the news again.

In a slew of measures to curb illegal mining, the Goa government has ordered a cap on issuing permits to trucks ferrying iron ore, after suspending nearly 500 iron ore trade licences here.

The Goa government Tuesday cancelled the licenses of nearly 450 iron ore traders registered here in a bid to check extraction and export of iron ore.
