Curb nuisance on beaches

Unfortunately, a 72-year-old UK tourist met a watery grave at Talpona beach in Canacona. Moreover, the situation escalates into a dangerous episode whenever tourists don’t adhere to the instructions given to them by the lifeguards. Furthermore, it’s dangerous to venture into the sea when it is high tide. It’s also a fairly predictable issue that if tourists disobey instructions and enter the water under the influence of drugs or alcohol, then it’s another recipe for disaster. However, such foolish acts are not only disappointing but an outright blunder committed by some tourists, not everyone.

Amid a surge in drowning cases across the beaches, tourists themselves must also exercise some sort of self-control while vacationing in Goa. Moreover, citizens face the threat of broken glass bottles littered across the beaches. Not forgetting the disturbance caused by hawkers on the beaches, where they utilise their marketing skills to sell their products.

What a pity it is as citizens visit the beaches to enjoy fresh air along with their pristine beauty but unfortunately have to wade through all these challenges. Eventually, tourists are highly welcomed in Goa, but they should enjoy with decency and grace. Depart with some sweet memories from Goa.

The government would do well to ban gutka in the State.
