Big deal in refusing an award. I wonder if the dude would have refused the award had the cash prize been a hefty sum. He also protests against the tourists visiting Goa saying that their "crowded" presence makes Goans build more concrete infrastructure which destroys the nature. I agree on this point but why blame the tourists. Aren't Goans themselves building concrete structures around them? Don't tourists contribute to the economy of the state? Remo, where were you when young children were being molested by phirangis? I think that is a bigger issue than the beautification of Goa.
