During the recent clean-up drive at Baga beach , Calangute MLA Michael Lobo is reported to have said that "Littering is inbuilt in Indian tourists " and that's the reason why beaches in Goa are dirtied everyday. While this is a slap in the face of Indian tourists , Lobo should find out why such littering doesn't take place in cities like Indore and Surat, as well as in foreign countries like Singapore and Dubai where Indians flock in large numbers. Undoubtedly, it is because laws are strict, punishment severe , and public places kept spotlessly clean by civic workers . Unfortunately, this is not the case in Goa where there is no strict round the clock vigilance, and laws exist only on paper with no accountability of any kind.
