Goa minister warns taxi operators of action after they prevent US tourists from entering buses for sightseeing

Around 100 American tourists that had arrived at Mormugaon Port via a cruise on Wednesday were forced to return without sightseeing as the taxi operators refused to allow them to enter the buses booked for them.

Goa tourism minister Rohan Khaunte on Friday condemned the incident and said taxi operators indulging in such incidents would have their permits cancelled.

During the incident on Wednesday, taxi operators allegedly also assaulted one of the bus drivers present at the spot.
