No more selfie stunt on these Goa beaches
June 23, 2018
Amid a spate of drownings and accidents along Goa’s coastline, the state’s popular beaches have set up “no selfie” zones, an official said on Friday.
The aim of setting up the adequately marked “no selfie” zones is to reduce the number of accidents, caused by falls from slippery and rocky areas along the coastline, which incidentally also provide a vantage point for selfie and photography enthusiasts, Ravi Shankar, CEO Drishti Marine, a state government-appointed private lifeguard agency manning the state’s beaches and other water bodies, told IANS.
“The 24 unsafe selfie points with signages which have been identified are located near Baga River, Dona Paula Jetty, Sinquerim Fort, Anjuna, Vagator, Morjim, Ashwem, Arambol, Kerim and between Bambolim and Siridao (all beaches) in North Goa. In South Goa, the signs have been placed at Agonda, Bogmalo, Hollant, Baina, Japanese Garden, Betul, Canaguinim, Palolem, Khola, Cabo De Rama, Polem, Galgibagh, Talpona and Rajbagh (all beaches),” Shankar said.
