Can Vasco da Gama police seize my drone under Goa law for flying in restricted area?

Flying a drone in a restricted area of Vasco da Gama can lead to seizure under the Goa Rent Control Act 1993 which empowers authorities to confiscate unauthorized drones. The Bombay High Court has upheld seizure where the drone posed a security risk to sensitive installations in Vasco da Gama.

The Goa Rent Control Act 1993 requires prior authorization for flying in red zones designated around Vasco da Gama. Violations can attract fines and prosecution in addition to seizure in Vasco da Gama.

The Bombay High Court has directed Goa to publish restricted zone maps for public awareness in Vasco da Gama. You can challenge an unreasonable seizure before the Bombay High Court under the Goa Rent Control Act 1993.

Return of seized drones may be ordered upon compliance and payment of penalty in Vasco da Gama.
