The Govt. has just invited applications for setting up shacks for the coming holiday season, and notified that 45 shacks can be set up at Calangute and 25 at Candolim. Surely these numbers are excessive for the 6 km. stretch of these 2 beaches combined, and will result in excessive bunching and environmental degradation. A similar length of beach at Colva/Benaulim has been allowed18 shacks, which appears to be a reasonable number. If the Govt. was serious to keep the beaches clean and manageable, it should reduce the licences in the North by about 10% every year, until the right balance is achieved. This will also result in better business for those who are running the fewer shacks. regards, Gilbert Menezes.
