The new regulations are a death knell to all that is Goa. It is a means by which Goans will be totally out populated and then made invisible. All Goans will be uprooted from the coastal region which will be taken over by the vast population of India for building/buying their homes on the beach 50 metres from the HTL. Goans cannot match the Indian populations.
Today, 243,180 Indians own between Rs 7.5 crore and 375 crore Another 39 lakh Indians own between Rs 75 lakh and 7 cr. Yes, they can and will buy up all of coastal and progressively other parts of Goa – only for holidaying. Note, at that time they will make sure locals are the outsiders- you will not have a home in this area – and see that you also do not have access to the beaches.
We need to fight on different fronts. First and foremost is to identify our enemies. These are the all-powerful builders and Hotel lobbies with connections in Delhi. Vedanta wanted to mine all the available iron ore deposits in Goa and scoot. These lobbyists are aiming for the same: make the most of the CRZ rules and then scoot because the same will last just 15 years till Goa becomes a Ghost City no different from Delhi’s pollution, criminal and bribe taking society. It is in this context that villagers must not accept any freebies, even to educational institutions, from these lobbyists.
Bosom partners of the above are our MLAs, Panchas, etc. Notice there has been no opposition from any of these people. Notice that the new regulations came AFTER the TCP expansion in Goa showing a pre-meditated move involving our local ministers.
Anyone applying for construction within the 50 m line will automatically be granted permission by the TCP. To counter this, the coastal Panchayats must pass a law that all land from HTL to 500 mt be designated as ‘leisure’ cum picnic land for the use of locals. Outsiders can use the same for these purposes only for a hefty fee. This is in the same concept of public gardens. The time period must be for 60 years or 2 generations.
