#Goa is known for its pristine beaches. But how has rampant, unchecked “development” impacted the state’s coastline?

In this episode, author and photographer #VivekMenezes takes us through the changes seen at Miramar beach over the past year, telling us the story of rampant real estate construction that’s destroying heritage sites.

The big headline of the day is the reelection of #AntónioCosta, who is of Goan origin, as the prime minister of Portugal. He’s good friends with Narendra Modi and proudly flaunts his OCI card. Vivek explains Goa’s special relationship with Portugal, and also the legacy of Manohar Parrikar and why it’s a mixed bag.

Atul Chaurasia, Manisha Pande and Meghnad S are on the election trail and will be traveling through Goa, UP, Uttarakhand and Punjab. Power our election coverage by contributing to our #NLSena project:
