Yes and tomorrow I will believe they are going to demolish Vijay Mallya's Villa on Candolim Beach - the owner of everything Kingfisher brand.
As if :cheers

Be funny if they went ahead with it though, would give all the tourists something to watch while they wait for the shacks to be built!

The local govn' is a touch arrogant towards tourists it would seem.

Seems to me, that they don't want the tourist to enjoy themselves too much. personally, i don't use the night clubs, but they are an attraction for the younger ones of us, (dare i say)!!!!
I'd rather be in bed by midnght, so that i can enjoy Goa in the daytime when can see it.

it seems to me, maybe I'm wrong, that they demolish the part of the club that was built without permission. if so, what is wrong with it? or will we tolerate the illegal activities where it suits us and cry out loud if we do not like it?

btw. last time in India in July we visited the Gwalior. The houses built closer to the street line than permitted were teared down so that couple of kilometers along the street you could see rooms and apartments without one wall. open to the street. somewhy the city authorities decided that now is the moment. why this kind of things happen in Goa every time in the beginning of tourist season .... only decision makers know.

Reading the latest link, I just wondered if Tito's and Mambo's actually HAVE violated coastal regulatory zone (CRZ) norms.

If they have - knowingly - then why shouldn't the structures be demolished?

Of course, if this is a retrosepctive regulation and the structures were fine before introduction of that regulation, that is a different matter.

People in the UK have had to demolish whole houses, because they haven't had the correct planning permission. so i guess Goa is no different.

Regarding the C.R.Z. As I understand it it bans all buildings within 500 metres of the High Water Mark. Have a look round the Sinquerm, Candolim, Calangute, Baga stretch of the coast and you will see that this ban is almost universaly flouted, so I dont think thats the reason for the move to demolish all or part of the nightclubs.

Anybody know who Ravindra Jana is?
He's named in the press link as the person who 'alleged the illegalities'.

PPC- If they have - knowingly - then why shouldn't the structures be demolished?

You really do not know how Goa works - lots of structures violate CRZ rules and always have.
Pay and stay is the rule. They will knock down one wall (a small one) and that will be it - lots of money will pass hands and end of it.
Titos is world famous and it will not disappear - Goa could not afford that.
