MARGAO, DEC 1
Cracking a whip against the laamani menace on Salcete’s coastal belt, the Colva police on Tuesday rounded up seven Laamanis found loitering on the Mobor beach.
The police said the laamanis were booked under Section 2 (a) read with section 26 of the Tourist Trade Act and their goods confiscated.
The police said the drive against the laamanis would continue in view of complaints of harassment and nuisance caused to the tourists, especially foreign tourists.
The police are investigating.
