Fear and anxiety in the minds of people in Vasco due to the huge number of illegal water sports activities being carried out on the Baina beach thereby endangering lives of locals and tourists alike.
A number of boats have had accidents due to overloading and overlooking of safety measures on the boats. Incidents on 14th January where the overloaded boat drifted away and had to be rescued by CISF and on 15th Jan where a boat capsized mid-sea
Such events are eye-openers and strict action needs to be taken on people operating such business without required license and safety measures. 

I would like to draw the attention of the Government   towards the major overloading of Cargo much more then the permissible limits that is being carried out in the MPA area leading to major spillage and pollution issues.
Is the Government aware of this.If yes what action is being taken on these violators?

 This problem is being faced by the people for almost a year now.
Request for an additional Ambulance to be stationed in Vasco area to cater to Vasco and Mormugao constituencies.
