Govt grounds all paragliding ops - The Goan Everyday - January 25, 2025. The death of the Pune tourist and the paraglider pilot at Keri was unfortunate. In view of this, the government’s move to put a halt to all such activities and call for a review is a step in the right direction.
The operators of the paragliding operation may perhaps be taking a declaration from the tourists, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the operators. The rope snapping midway is something that the operators need to look at. Was it a lack of regular inspection or maintenance? At the end of the day, precious lives are being lost for no fault of theirs.
