Government Minister Ravi Naik vowed to launch another crackdown against revelers with a typically blustery threat.
“We will not tolerate rave parties and drugs at all,” the Home Minister declared, “They are already banned in Goa and we will make sure the ban is implemented,” he promised.
Whether the ban will actually be enforced remains unclear since last year a similar ban was overturned within hours after angry local traders lobbied state officials.
