Our jet-setting tourism babus are scouring the world in search of tourists when the local citizens have nowhere to go as witnessed during the last long holiday weekend.
Hordes of boisterous local tourist descend on the beaches of Goa creating massive traffic snarls leaving no room for locals to even make a short visit to buy essential items. God forbid if there is an emergency like a fire or accident or stroke – how will we able reach those in need?
The need of the hour for Goa is to solve these basic issues before the state loses its charm to the foreign tourist at the cost of rowdy tourists cooking by the road side and defecating in the open.
