Hi Stewbacca,
Yes I am afraid its true
The lads from the shacks are trying to sort out with the government some permanent land to use, Lets hope something is sorted for the coming season.
We are gutted as most of the lads Like Johnnie & Gilbert Churchill ,Adjit were only kids when we first went to Morjim and have a tough enough time scratching a living as it is.

thats bad news for the guy who owns the first shack as you get onto the beach, as he has just spent lots building his small hotel(?) back up the road a bit
incidentally, thats Morjim beach in my avator.

I just wonder how much money in bribes the local panchyat will pass up in order to save the turtles.....not much would be my best guess, I don't think we've seen the last of the shacks at Morjim, after all in Goa "Money Talks"!!!

the local panchyat is just upping his backhanders.

me a skeptic, prove it

My in laws are in regular contact withthe lads from Morjim, it seems the Russians are buying up the local bars and are very worried about the local having shacks on the beach which are very popular as we all know. The local priest has spoken with local government officials and is of the opinion that the Russians pay more than shack owners for the rules to be made.

They will be asking for our support when we all go back and hopefully vote with our feet & wallets.
