Fortification wall at Old Goa faces threat as construction work encroaches on buffer zone 
Construction activity near the centuries-old outer fortification wall encircling Old Goa city of yore has upset some heritage lovers, as promoters of a multi-dwelling complex have allegedly encroached into the old wall’s buffer zone shown in Regional Plan (RP) 2021. Old Goa’s boundaries, as a capital, lay a few miles away from the present limits. The fortification wall, which was extended in the 16th century by the Portuguese upon the old one built during the Adil Shahi era passed through Corlim, Banastarim, Carambolim, Bainguinim and other areas.
