Govt legalizes beach shacks across coastal states
The Union environment ministry has permitted setting up of Goa-like beach ‘shacks’ across all coastal states.
Shacks are key to tourism and local businesses in Goa and Maharashtra and currently have to be removed in the monsoon months –– June to August. The Union environment ministry has now made way for their round the year presence and across all coastal states — a move expected to boost tourism and the coastal economy. The shacks, however, are not to operate in monsoon months.
The ministry has also relaxed norms for traditional communities in the area which will now enable them to engage in collection of dead shells for poultry and animal feed supplements and will not need prior Island Coastal regulations zone clearances for the same.
The Centre’s notification now permits state governments to decide on some smaller infrastructure projects. These will include standalone jetties, breakwaters, groynes, salt works, slipways and manual erosion control bunds.
