Huts right on the sea shore, during monsoon, waves break at their doorsteps
All this time or for the last 10 years or so , Govt did nothing and allowed them to grow illegally.
Many even had electrical connections (see pics), don't know how they got it without even taken into account health and safety issue. Who gave them NOCs, who made money on them?
Shame on MMC and local MLAs / Ministers.

Goa Govt. served eviction

To be vacated by 5th Sept.
Protest in the
City at MMC, 3rd Sept 2014 (3rd

illegal and for their own safety.
I was shocked to listen to the protestors’ slogans as
young as 5 saying..Goa Govt Come to your senses (Goa Sarkar Hosh meim aaho..).
Cholchina re cholchina, dadagiri cholchina.
Soddchena re soddchena, jikle bhogor soddchena
Don’t know what to say..
Humari billi humko myaao?Or
Am I missing something?
One fellow was claiming that he has Portuguese documents
such as birth certificate
He even says, if I have heard it right, Parrikar came to them (Beach) during elections..Watch video
