I wish you luck, and I am sure the majority of Goanetters here also agree with you, if the area becomes a no-go zone, then only criminality will thrive. After a while, this will also spread, and may well include the next generation of Goans & currently law-abiding citizens to take this route. I very much doubt if this tide can be stopped. But if enough people write letters, protest at doorsteps of the offices & homes of the politicians, embarrasment is the key, go forth & congregate & complain. You can also vote out certain people who dont keep their promises. Good luck to you & I sincerely hope that calm can again be bestowed back to your streets, water sides & canals, but only ACTION to stop non-licensed vendors in areas where residential & non-commercial premises or land is, ought to be strictly enforced. If not, then someone is not doing their jobs), and here we go, some payment in greasy palms may have passed or this would not have happened "overnight" or been accepted as the norm.
