Baga Beach, Goa: In
the wake of recent terror attacks in Mumbai, authorities
Goa have beefed up security measures in the region. "We
have made all possible security arrangements. In this
regard, we have assistance from Government of India also
in the form of paramilitary forces. So, I can say that
Goa is safe and there are sufficient security arrangements
on the ground," said Kishan Kumar, Inspector General of
Police, Goa. The state has undertaken several security
measures like screening of tourists and combing of hotels.
"We have issued general advisory to hoteliers and other
establishments like restaurants, cruise owners, boat owners
and general public. The precaution that they should take
while moving around, they should be secure," added Kishan
Kumar. Although tourists have resumed coming here after
staying away for about four weeks, following the Mumbai
terror attacks, the local administration has banned Christmas
and New Year parties on its beaches as a precaution in
the interest of public safety and security. Thousands
of tourists travel to Goa every month to lounge on the
golden sands of its numerous beaches and also revel in
nightlong parties.
