The elected representatives especially the environment minister in the Goa government, speaking regarding Sunburn festival said that organising festivals like Sunburn music festival is not for peddling drugs as drugs are available everywhere in the State. It may be inadvertently a slip of tongue but the government needs to act as there were press reports and also eyewitnesses saying that during Sunburn festival there were drugs circulated. It was earlier reported in the press that drugs have reached the schools and also north Goa beaches why the police don't act to prevent the spread of drugs in north Goa ? Casinos also bring in lot of vices hence the government needs to take necessary action to tackle this menace spreading all over Goa. Just saying slip of tongue of the minister will in no way bring an end to spread of these vices but it will take some time when all the agencies including the government and the police are sensitive to the issue. Our younger generation is the future of Goa and India so the agencies and police needs to be vigilant and work in tandem to eradicate this menace.
