Panaji: Nearly 200 illegal nightclubs and questionable constructions have emerged across Goa, allegedly not by accident but “by design,” said social activist Savio Rodrigues on Friday.
Speaking on the issue, Rodrigues blamed key government departments, particularly the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA), for failing to safeguard Goa’s coastline. “Licences are bought, violations are ignored, and our land is sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder,” he said.
Rodrigues alleged that illegal nightlife and dubious constructions in Goa operate under a simple unwritten rule: “Paise Pheko, Tamasha Dekho… Bhivpache Garaz Na.”
He explained, “Throw the money, enjoy the show – and fear nothing, because the system will protect you.”
The activist called for stricter oversight and stronger enforcement to prevent further damage to Goa’s environment and ensure accountability from authorities.
