Goa implements strict parking regulations

India Jun 13, 2025

Goa is getting tough on abandoned cars—if your vehicle sits in the same spot on a public road for more than eight days, it could be scrapped. The move, announced by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, aims to clear up traffic jams and give public spaces back to everyone. Don't worry, owners will get a final notice before their car is taken away.

250 abandoned vehicles have been seized in Panaji

The plan's already in action: 250 abandoned vehicles have been seized in Panaji alone. Plus, Goa police are cracking down on illegal rental operations—they've flagged 550 private cars being used as rentals without proper permits and are pushing for license cancelations. All of this is about making the roads safer and less crowded for everyone.
