In response to the numerous drowning incidents in waterfalls, abandoned quarries, rivers, lakes, and other water bodies across North and South Goa, both district administrations have imposed a 60-day ban on swimming in these areas. 

South Goa District Magistrate Asvin Chandru has enacted a prohibition on swimming until further notice. The order, effective from Sunday, will be upheld for 60 days unless revoked earlier. Issued under section 144 of the CrPC, the decision comes in response to previous drowning incidents in these areas, posing significant risks to public safety.
