Goa govt to organise cleanliness drive on Sept 17

Panaji: The Goa government will conduct a beach cleanliness drive on September 17 in an effort to keep the beach safe and clean for visitors, officials announced on Thursday.

On International Coastal Clean Up Day, at 8 AM, the "Clean Coast, Safe Sea initiative" will get underway. The drive is held at several beaches in collaboration with the Goa Tourism Ministry, the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences, and the Ministries of Environment, Forestry, and Climate Change.

"Goa is a popular tourist destination known for its sun, sand, and sea, therefore it's crucial to keep the beaches tidy and secure for visitors. The programme is organised at Miramar, Calangute, Colva, and Canacona beaches to accomplish the goal and raise awareness about Clean Coast and Safe Sea "CM of Goa Pramod P Sawant tweeted. He made further appeals to the people to sign up for the initiative.

"I urge everyone to sign up for the initiative. The Clean Coast, Safe Sea programme is a good start in addition to the Seva Pakhwada, and we have decided to honour it on the occasion of the Hon. PM's birthday "he added.

Before joining the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday, eight Congress MLAs, including former Goa CM Digambar Kamat and Leader of the Opposition Michael Lobo, met with Sawant at the Assembly Complex.

Digambar Kamat, Michael Lobo, Delilah Lobo, Rajesh Phaldesai, Kedar Naik, Sankalp Amonkar, Aleixo Sequeira, and Rudolf Fernandes are the eight MLAs that met with CM Sawant.

The Chief minsiter also took a slamm at Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra and mentioning that, "Congress Chhodo Yatra will commence from Goa now" while welcoming the leaders.

In the 40-member House, the BJP already controls a majority of 25, including its own 20 MLAs, two representatives from the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, and three independent politicians. It will have 33 members after eight Congress MLAs join.
