The state legislative ad hoc committee on home chaired by Leader of Opposition Manohar Parrikar has also urged the state home ministry to “have a thoughtful look at the coastal security in the light of sea attacks carried out on commercial capital, Mumbai by terrorists from across the border”.

Goa has been on a terror alert during the tourist season from October to March every year since the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai in 2008.

Security along the coastal areas popular with foreign tourists has been a sensitive issue, especially after David Headley’s recce of the two beach villages of Anjuna and Mandrem, both of which have Jewish prayer houses.
