The Goa Government today said it will adopt a “no tolerance attitude” towards rave parties in the state.
“You just wait and watch…There will be no rave parties this year. Curbing the trade in narcotics in the state is top among our priorities,” Home Minister Ravi Naik told reporters here.
The government, he said, would have a “no tolerance attitude towards rave parties”.
Goa, a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists, has gained notoriety for drug trafficking and rave parties organised along its 105-km coastline.
“We are taking all possible measures to tackle the drug menace. The government will go to the root of the problem and book the main offenders,” Naik said.
All foreigners, who overstay in Goa under false pretexts, will be asked to immediately leave the country.
“Even if they are held back because they have some petty cases filed against them, we will drop them and ask the foreigners to leave,” Naik said.
The state government has also decided to clamp down on foreign students, especially Nigerians, who arrived here with student visas and are involved in drug trafficking.
“We will check their (students’) attendance and if they are regularly absent, they will be asked to pack their bags,” he said.
