Khaunte meets CM over drugs and solicitation videos, says police action key to save Goa image
PANAJI: (Apr 14) Goa Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte on Tuesday asserted police must act with responsibility to protect the state’s image as a preferred and friendly destination for travellers, comments coming after two clips on drugs and alleged solicitation at a popular beach went viral.
Khaunte met Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to discuss the prevailing situation around Calangute beach in North Goa, from where these two videos surfaced and went viral on social media, and said the twin incidents were of serious nature.
In one of the videos, a foreigner is seen being approached at the Calangute beach by two men who apparently offered to sell drugs to him. The second clip, posted by an Instagram account holder, shows a foreign woman allegedly soliciting customers on Calangute-Baga road, a popular tourism destination.
