"Now, people don't come to Goa in search of drugs. They instead pay visit to the state for its natural beauty, beaches, local cuisine, culture, music, etc. Culture and food has been developed as the new USP of Goa," the top cop said.
Goa's new top cop - Director General of Police (DGP) Jaspal Singh - has said that people no longer visit the coastal state for drugs, but instead for its beaches, cuisine and culture.
Mr Singh, who took charge as the DGP or top cop on Thursday replacing IPS officer Indradev Shukla, also said that he does not want people to remember Goa for drugs.
"Now, people don't come to Goa in search of drugs. They instead pay visit to the state for its natural beauty, beaches, local cuisine, culture, music, etc. Culture and food has been developed as the new USP (unique selling proposition) of Goa," Mr Singh said in first press conference after taking over the charge.
A lot has been done by the Goa police in the past to control the drug menace in the state, the top cop said.
