Stop visiting waterfalls during rainy season

Tourists should stop visiting Dudhsagar during the monsoon season due to the high current flowing in the water, which can take lives. Young boys and girls come for the fun and do not understand what is good and bad for them. Many innocent deaths have been reported at waterfall spots. The whole area is slippery.
