The Goa assembly has passed a bill introducing stricter measures and heavier penalties against public nuisance and unauthorised activities at tourist spots across the state.
State Tourism Minister Rohan Kahunte on Friday (August 1, 2025) tabled the Goa Tourist Places (Protection and Maintenance) Amendment Bill, 2025, which aims to strengthen the 2001 Act by significantly expanding the definition of "nuisance" and increasing the fine limit to ₹1 lakh.
