GOA DURING MONSOONS

Goa, India's number one beach tourist destination is frequented by visitors only during the winter or summer by domestic tourists. However, Goa tourism industry is all set to sell raindrops to visitors, who usually flock this beach destination for its sun, sand and surf and stay away during monsoons. The state-run Goa Tourism Development Corporation has launched several new attractions to morph Goa into a 365 day tourist destination. Lets take a look at Dona Paula and see how monsoon tourism is prevailing in the state.

Dona Paula located on the beautiful and famous sea stretch that spans from Panjim, Miramar and Dona Paula is a very famous area frequented by tourists.

KHAP PANCHAYAT: GOA STYLE? HELL IN CABO DE RAMA

It was three hours of horror......a virtual hell on earth for two Curchorem youth, one of them a minor.
On May 22, caught, tried and condemned in shocking Khap Panchayat style justice, they were stripped, left in only their briefs, beaten black and blue and worse still, tied with ropes to motorcycles and dragged through the village of Cabo de Rama.
Their crime: they were suspected to be the culprits in a spate of robberies from vehicles of tourists at the Cabo de Rama fort and down near the beach. Mobiles and cash were being robbed from the taxis and the youth from Cabo de Rama conducted their own investigations and acted on it.
One the two victim youth, is under eighteen years of age, and the other is in his early twenties.
Strangely the women folk from Cabo de Rama were no where on the scene, gone into hiding when their village's men folk went about their acts of horror for well over three hours.
In a semi-conscious state, the two youngsters were handed over to the Cuncolim police station who admitted the duo to a hospital.

* Backlash threatened

The news of the incident has enraged the friends, relatives and neighbours of the victim youth from Curchorem. They have served an ultimatum on the Quepem and Cuncolim polce and have threatened to take law into their hands if they fail to act against the monsters from Cabo de Rama.

* Police inaction

Strangely Cuncolim police meekly took the two boys in their custody and had them admitted in Hospicio hospital. A fortnight before the incident, they had booked a case of theft in which a mobile and cash were reported missing from a vehicle. Shockingly, no further action seems to be forthcoming from the Cuncolim police.
Deputy Inspector General of Police, O P Mishra, meanwhile, said he was not aware of the case and declined to make any comments when In Goa News reporter questioned him at a news conference, Friday evening.

The Wheel of Ashoka is in the middle half, buried in stone, to represent the ancient culture, that nurtured this blend of ideas and emotions.

DJI Osmo Mobile 4K | Aguada Fort | Dona Paula Goa

Fort Aguada and its lighthouse is a well-preserved seventeenth-century Portuguese fort standing in Goa, India, on Sinquerim Beach, overlooking the Arabian Sea.

The fort was constructed in 1612 to guard against the Dutch and the Marathas. It was a reference point for the vessels coming from Europe at that time. This old Portuguese fort stands on the beach south of Candolim, at the shore of the Mandovi River. It was initially tasked with defense of shipping and the nearby Bardez sub district.

A freshwater spring within the fort provided water supply to the ships that used to stop by. This is how the fort got its name: Aguada, meaning Water. Crews of passing ships would often visit to replenish their fresh water stores. On the fort stands a four-storey Portuguese lighthouse, erected in 1864 and the oldest of its kind in Asia. Built in 1612, it was once the grandstand of 79 cannons. It has the capacity of storing 2,376,000 gallons of water, one of the biggest freshwater storages of the time in whole of Asia. This fort is divided in two segments: the upper part acted as fort and watering station, while the lower part served as a safe berth for Portuguese ships. Whereas the upper part has a moat, underground water storage chamber, gunpowder room, light house and bastions, it also has a secret escape passage to use during time of war and emergency. The lighthouse at initial stage is used to emit light once in 7 minutes. In 1834 it was changed to emit light creating eclipse every 30 seconds, however it was abandoned in 1976.
