Panaji: Shacks dotting the Goa beaches will now have to install CCTV cameras round-the-clock as per the Beach Shack Policy guidelines adopted by the state government on Wednesday.
"All shacks will compulsorily have to install CCTV cameras and shoot the activities there for 24 hours. Those who fail to set up the cameras will have their licences cancelled," Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said after the Goa Cabinet approved the policy guidelines on regulating the functioning of these temporary restaurants allowed to be set up during monsoon.
Mr Parrikar said that the number of shacks at the beaches having high tourist density has come down by 10 percent in Calangute-Sinquerim belt.
As part of the stringent measures to curb illegalities on the seashore, the Parrikar government has set up a Task Force, headed by tourism department officials, who will take action on daily basis against such activities.
The beach beds are now allowed only within three meters of shacks.
