CALANGUTE: In a continued crackdown on touting activities along the Calangute-Baga coastal belt, Calangute Police have initiated preventive action against 30 touts between November 1 and November 12, taking the total number of actions against touts in the jurisdiction to 813 for 2026.
According to North Goa Police, of the 813 actions initiated this year, 682 touts have been apprehended under the Tourist Trade Act, while 131 have been proceeded against under Sections 126/170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
The latest action forms part of an intensified enforcement drive aimed at curbing touting activities that often create inconvenience and potential risks for tourists visiting the popular coastal belt.
The Calangute-Baga stretch, one of Goa’s busiest tourist destinations, continues to remain under police focus as authorities seek to prevent tourists from being harassed, misled or subjected to unfair practices by touts.
Goa Police has reiterated its commitment to eliminating touting and ensuring a safe and hassle-free experience for visitors. The police have maintained that sustained enforcement will continue to protect tourists and safeguard Goa’s reputation as a preferred tourism destination.
