To,

Director of Tourism, 

Government of Goa,

Panaji, Goa.

Subject: illegal para sailing in Zuari river

Sir,

This is to bring to your attention continues instances of para sailing in Zuari river from Dona Paula to Cacra. We have already informed about this situation to your office earlier too beside personal meetings with you as well as concerned deputy director.

Non-action from your office of those operating illegal para sailing boats is deeply disappointing and we draw the meaning from all this experience that your office is as committed is disrupting zuari river Small scale fishery as illegal para sailing boats and illegal trawlers operating in Zuari inspite of contrary verbal assurances when we called on your office on 08 January 2026.

We hope at least now you will act decisively with impact to stop illegal parasailing in Zuari river conducted from Dona Paula.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Shaila D'mello
