In response to the recent Wayanad landslides, which killed more than 200 people, the Goa government has revived its high-level disaster management council. Ground-level revenue officials are now entrusted with reporting illegal hill-cutting activity.

On Friday, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant presided over a high-level meeting of the state disaster management committee in Porvorim. Revenue Minister Atanasio Monserratte, as well as other senior officials, attended the meeting, reported PTI.
