MARGAO: Shack Owners Welfare Society has slammed the reported decision of the Goa State Pollution Control Board that shacks should not be allowed on the beaches unless there’s a solution to the garbage problem.

Reacting to media reports, Society President Cruz Cardozo questioned the rationale behind the GSPCB decision, demanding to know whether the Pollution Board would order closure of all hotels along the coast pending a solution to the garbage issue.
