CALANGUTE: The chorus of protests against the dance bars in Calangute keeps getting louder every day with locals and activists joining hands reiterating that ‘dens of vice’ will not be tolerated in the coastal village anymore. The rally however caused a massive traffic jam because of the tourist crowd on Sunday
A large number of villagers, including MLA Michael Lobo and sarpanch Joseph Sequeira, took out a protest march against dance bars in Calangute on Sunday. The rally ended with a largely-attended meeting at Baga.
Activists and panchayat members have in recent weeks held a number of protests against dance bars, with Lobo and Sequeira also meeting with DGP Jaspal Singh recently calling for the dance bars to be shut down as they are allegedly hotspots of illegal activities like prostitution.
