Karnataka State Tourism Minister R V Deshpande met Parrikar today at Porvorim, demanding that people who were displaced should be rehabilitated, since their four-decade old dwellings were demolished.
Deshpande told reporters that he met Parrikar with a plea to look into the matter "with a humanitarian view".
The hutments were demolished earlier this month after an order by the Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court.
These dwellings were right on the beach, posing a threat to people living in it, during the monsoons.
"The Goa Chief Minister also assured that these families would be rehabilitated," Deshpande said.
