Caravans from Dubai, Italy, France, Germany and Belgium stationed at Agonda beach.
CANACONA
The world-acclaimed Agonda beach has been attracting tourists from all over the globe and caravans have begun to reappear at the beach after a gap of two years.
Agonda's southern end of the beach has over 10 caravans with families, kids and pets from Dubai, France, Germany Belgium and Italy since the last fortnight and if sources are to be believed, many of these caravans will be anchored at the beach for the next two months.
The caravans are equipped with all possible amenities of a residential house, which include a portable toilet, water filter, beddings, power back up and a bicycle for emergency transportation. They also have cooking facilities, foldable/adjustable tables, chairs and are even equipped with boats and rows.
These caravans accommodate 5-10 occupants depending on their size.
A couple and their two kids from France said they had entered India from the Wagah Border in Pakistan.
They added that they intend to stay in Goa for about two months and are then planning to travel to the South and East Coast of India.
In the past, the Agonda panchayat had been collecting fees from these caravans, but it is unclear if the panchayat has collected any fees this time around. Residents in the area have, however, complained, that these tourists have been dumping their human waste and other wet waste into the nearby Val river.
