The Goa government took a big decision and said that strict action will be taken against those who are earning money from tourists by renting out private cars or bikes. The government is going to bring a new ordinance under which the license of rent-car or rent-bike operators who do commercial work with private vehicles without a valid license will be cancelled. This strictness will also apply to those persons who rent out private vehicles despite not having their own license.

Over 600 challans have been issued by last year's Goa Police traffic cell to individuals who were operating taxi-like operations with personal vehicles. Once the challan is handed out, the owner of the vehicle is required to visit the court and offer payment of the penalty. In spite of that, numerous individuals are still operating this business.

Taking the matter seriously, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant called a high-level meeting at the Police Headquarters, Panaji. IGP, DIG, Transport Director, North Goa, and Traffic SP, as well as the Chief Engineer of PWD, were present at this meeting. In this, the status of checkposts, surveillance, and the traffic system on the state borders was reviewed.
