"I could see on beaches, the crowd has increased and hotels too are seeing more and more bookings.It will be a challenging task," Meena said, when asked about the police preparedness for tourists during the peak tourism season.
"We have already discussed with officers, they are forming a strategy.Because of Covid it is a challenging task to deploy force round the clock," Meena said.
The top cop said that around 900 police personnel, including himself, had tested positive for coronavirus."People are fed up with being in one place now.They want to come and relax.They think Goa is the best place," Meena said, adding that all activities, including those related to tourism should be allowed by following existing SOPs, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing norms.
