Goa: Tourism department in the dark with 125 bags of tar balls
The tar ball menace is affecting more than just Goa’s beaches. The tourism department, which is responsible for cleaning the beaches, is at its wits' end on how to safely dispose of the bags of tar balls that have been collected. Already this season, the department has collected 75 bags, each weighing nearly 40kg. Meanwhile, 50 bags of a dark, sticky and oily substance, similar to tar balls, which were collected last May from various beaches, are also lying on its premises.
