Along highways and roadsides, people are building shops and running businesses on government property without any permission. Despite knowing that the land belongs to the government, they continue these activities. When government authorities arrive with machinery like JCBs to demolish these illegal constructions, they demand prior notice from the authorities.
Why should government officials issue notices when the property is already marked as government land? These illegal structures across Goa should be demolished immediately to ensure such activities are not repeated.
Additionally, people conducting businesses, such as selling fish and other goods, on main roads should be addressed by the local village Panchayat and municipality offices. These activities create a mess and pose safety risks for citizens. The media should stop sensationalising these issues and taking both sides when the truth is clear. Supporting illegal activities only encourages more violations.
