74 Baina residents given 48 hours to vacate
In view of the hostile sea conditions at Baina, South Goa district collector Venancio Furtado issued an order on Tuesday asking the residents of 74 hutments at Kattem, Baina, to move out within 48 hours. The collector added that alternative arrangements had been made and that this was just a "precautionary measure" keeping in mind the safety of the people.

The collector told disaster management authority (DMA) officials to see that the residents are shifted to Tilak Maidan in Vasco, the Chicalim sports complex and the civic supply godown at Cortalim, where makeshift quarters have been created and food and water will be provided.

Note: No one took the alternate arrangement, temporary shelter

Electrical connections, Sky TV etc
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.
74 huts, about 377 people..
All they want is  their votes
A lady was shouting ' Ministers only come for votes but not to rescue them'

Update: 3rd Sept 2014


Baina beach huts demolition Phase II


Goa Govt. served  eviction & demolition notices to 205 illegal slums at Baina beach
To be vacated by 5th Sept.


Protest  in the City at MMC, 3rd Sept 2014  (3rd day)


I thought notices were served for their dwellings are 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..
