NH Road widening, Action committees, protests etc 40 mtr setback rule I think 40 mtr setback rule was in place since the beginning. i.e. 40 mtr from the central line either side of NH - 'No development zone' Looks like some people or the officials bent the rules by paying hefty bribes (including PWD-Highways, Panchayats, TCP etc). When I wanted to repair my house with extension near NH17 Agassaim, I was refused or made it difficult for me by the PWD. I am sure, if I had paid the bribe of Rs.20,000 things would have been different (but I gave up after taking into a/c the bribes that I would have to pay the other depts such as TCP, PWD, PHC and Panchayat) Ref. http://www.navhindtimes.in/content/instead-demolishing-houses-road-widening-govt-should-opt-bypass-suggest-porvorim-residents
