Panaji, June 20 (IBNS) A German tourist has pleaded for “peace” for the Goans living in the coastal Anjuna, in a letter to the state Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.
The tourist, whose identity has been kept under wraps, has spoken about four drug-rave-spots on the 1.6 kms Anjuna beach and unbearable noise pollution.
“Indians hailing from the northern states welcome the tourists with a wide range of drugs. It is openly pushed on the roads, beaches, rave parties and the men-in-khaki have given them a free hand,” he alleged in the letter.
“The hobnobbing of the policemen with drugs dealers has to come to an end…” he said requesting Parrikar for speedy crackdown of the drug dens.
The letter has also described how the local residents in the coastal belt are troubled by the foreign tourists who indulge in several other notorious acts. Music restriction is another appeal by this German tourist.
The chief minister is yet to react on the letter.
Anjuna beach had hit international headlines four years ago when the bruised skimpily clad body of British teen Scarlett Keleing Eden was found.
The case trial is still ongoing in the Goa Children’s Court against two locals who allegedly drugged, molested and left the girl to die on the beach.
