“I will direct the member secretary to inspect the site and submit a report,” said Almeida, when brought to his notice about the GTDC structures at Baina beach.   
Reacting to claims that GCZMA had been unclear in its NOC if the permission was permanent or temporary and if the beautification permitted was on the seaward or landward side, Almeida replied: “I will go through the file and accordingly address the questions.”

Locals and fishermen have come out very strongly against the structures.
