The Goa Police Department has decided to increase vigilance throughout the state, particularly to prevent harassment of domestic and foreign visitors, according to a statement released by the department on Monday.
As a result of the decrease of Covid-19 instances in the state, procedures have been relaxed and visitors have been flocking to the Goa beaches. North Goa Superintendent of Police (SP) Shobhit Saxena said: ‘The Goa police have begun booking miscreants and touts who are involved in targeting and cheating tourists’.

We are trying to identify them and take action against them. Moreover, there is a surge in the number of foreigners booked under the NDPS Act’, the SP said.
