Goa issues revised shack policy, with conditions
05 Oct 2019 07:16 PM
NGT had stayed
implementation of the Goa shack policy as the State had failed to submit its
coastal zone management plan.
The shack owners had moved the High Court seeking to vacate the NGTs stay on the the government shack policy.
The High Court allowed
the State to start the procedure for allocation of shacks. But asked it to
refrain from finalising allocation till final orders. Next hearing is on 7th October.
The highlights of the
revised shack policy are nothing different from the earlier ones.
238 shacks on different beaches of North Goa and 108 shacks on the South Goa beaches. But there is a provison added.
One, licenses would be granted only after joint inspection by tourism department and Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority.
And two, only after
the orders by the high court as well as the National Green Tribunal.
