Calangute p’yat and PDA launch drive against cooking in the open by tourists

Don’t the tourist who come down and cook have a right to a holiday? just because they don’t eat in our restaurants doesnt not mean they cant take a holiday.
The government/panchayat , instead of confiscating their gas cylinders, should provide suitable infrastructure when such people can cook their food without posing a threat to other vehicles and to lives of people.

Drug menace on the rise along coastal belt

The government has to look into the rehabilitation of the drug addicts very seriously. With so many local youth habituated to drugs a very good de-addiction centre should be the governments first priorities
