first I have heard of this but this article says that it's just affecting the very south but doubt it would be affecting anywhere else or anyone else has even heard of it.

The beach areas are OK. The problem is confined to the interior villages which are more than 50 km from the coast.

My friend is there at the moment and have not seen any riots. As GoanCanuc said it is reported only in the villages inland.
