Vainguinim Valley Residents Association start online petition against alleged illegal wall at Vainguinim beach

Panaji :  Vainguinim Valley Residents Association start online petition against alleged illegal wall at Vainguinim beach.

“A Hotel at Vainguinim Beach Goa continues to construct a concrete slab along the entire high tide line on a public beach. The residents and local fisherman in the area have tried everything from contacting the local panchayat to getting a site inspection conducted by the  GCMZA as this is a clear violation of the CRZ Laws”, said the petition.

The residents said that since the authorities have failed to take the action they initiated this online petition. The link to the petition is https://www.change.org/p/goa-coastal-zone-management-authority-save-vainguinim-beach?recruiter=1139239038&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=psf_combo_share_abi

The wall built at Vainguinim Beach has received a lot of public backlash who believe it to be in violation of law and a threat to the environment. Meanwhile the Fomento Resorts and Hotels limited have given justification “We have undertaken only repair work on the retaining wall in our own property to prevent further erosion of the beach and restore damage from heavy rains over the past two years”
