Sawant has proposed that permissions for mega projects, given their inter-departmental nature, should involve the chief minister’s office. The Mormugao Planning and Development Authority (MPDA) has issued a show cause notice to the Bhutani project’s developers for non-compliance with Goa Land Development and Building Construction Regulations, 2010. The notice cites improper road access width and unauthorized land alterations.

The decision follows agitation by Sancoale residents, who fear the project will cause environmental damage. If proper clearances are not provided, the project may face cancellation.
