Local MLA and Minister in charge of garbage and ports Michael Lobo has claimed that Calangute coastline right till Sinquerim is hawker free. However, he said there are hawkers on other Goan beaches. He wanted locals to help to assist the government to get rid of hawkers.



When the tourism season starts, there are always allegations that foreign tourists are being by harassed hawkers.


These hawkers, mostly migrants were seen pushing items to tourists and even offering massages to them.
