HJS memorandum says that there have been many cases of death due to drug overdose in ‘EDM’.
This has maligned the image of Goa internationally. Promoting ‘EDM in the name of tourism is like promoting drug trade. ‘EDM’ festivals like ‘Sunburn’ are causing addiction in the younger generation and glorifying western perversity. Govt should make Goa ‘EDM’ free. The approval given to the ‘Sunburn’ festival by the government should be withdrawn immediately and ticket sales of the event should be stopped. The cultural identity of Goa should be preserved.
