Panaji: The security of tourists in India’s top beach tourism destination should be a “prime concern”, especially with the terror threats looming large, Goa Governor Mridula Sinha said Thursday.

“The tourism industry in Goa is growing at a fast pace. With asymmetric threat ever looming large, security of tourists should be our prime concern,” Sinha said.

Sinha was speaking at a function in Vasco, a port town 35 kms from Panaji, organised to commission of ships ‘Amartya and Amal and C-410’ for the Indian Coast Guard.

The governor also asked security agencies to keep their eyes peeled and not allow 26/11 styled terror attack in the state.

“We cannot at any cost allow and tolerate incidents like the Mumbai terrorist attack,” Sinha said, caling for “technologically advanced logistics and well trained intelligent and ever-vigilant manpower to protect our coastal areas”.
