    According to sources, a five-member team of GTDC and Tourism department Engineers and officers, along with a consultant, descended on Canacona beaches on Saturday.
    They visited most of the beaches, including Khola, Agonda, Palolem- Patnem, Galgibaga-Talpona and Polem and verified the possibilities of availability of suitable land to set up Changing Rooms, Toilets, Illuminations, Provisioning of Roads/road- expansions, Parking Lots, CCTV Cameras, Beach-Benches, Shed, Beautification, as well as High mast Lamps.
    Discussions were held with local bodies regarding the availability of land on respective beach Coasts, and the Tourism team also sought a minimum of 120 sqm of land to provide Toilet and Changing-room blocks, wherever not available, besides exploring possibilities of the setup of High mast Lamps.
    When the team visited Agonda, Sarpanch Fatima Rodrigues demanded proper Illumination of the beach and the setting up of CCTV cameras of the 2.8 km long beach Coast of Agonda, besides a beach-approach Road, provisions of Toilet and Changing room.

Two more Highmasts at Ourem and Monko, besides proper beach illumination, retaining/protection walls of the entire beach stretch are proposed, also sought Multi-Storey Parking and Road Widening works.
    When the team reached Poinguinim, Dy Sarpanch Sunil Paingankar, along with other panch-members, led the tourism team to Talpona, where proper Illumination, especially behind the temple and provision of a Shed, besides provision of Toilet Block/Changing rooms, were sought. Later visiting Galgibaga Coast, besides Changing Rooms and toilet block, also demanded a proper road and parking space, and in consultation with Forest department to illuminate the Galgibaga Beach, where forest department is also a Turtle Rehabilitation and Nesting Centre.
