Parrikar govt to crack down on rave parties

April 10, 2017 14:12

Asserting that late night rave parties are not part of Goa's culture, state's Water Resources Department Minister Vinod Palyekar on Monday called for a state wide ban and said that such parties allow the drug industry to flourish which adversely affect the youth.

"Late night parties should be banned in Goa. Though our state runs on tourism, but under the garb of tourism drugs are being supplied. This is adversely affecting our youth. If you visit the coastal areas (then) you can see how the youth are getting ruined because of this," Palyekar told ANI.

Palyekar further said that he has held discussions with Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on the same, adding he has instructed the police to maintain strict vigilance and ensure that such parties do not take place.
