MUMBAI: Alarmed through a spurt in selfie deaths, the ministry of tourism has asked the MTDC and law implementing companies to spot and claim no-selfie zones.
Maharashtra State Tourism Development Corporation MD Abhimanyu Kale mentioned creditors of coastal districts Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg had been asked to release an consciousness programme. “On the entire coastal course, which many tourists seek advice from and take selfies, we now have created consciousness so that they do not take selfies at dangerous spots,” Kale mentioned.
Joint commissioner of police (law and order) Deven Bharti mentioned 25 spots within the city the place the most selfie deaths have been reported had been known as dangerous.
“We have known the 25 spots within the city, we now have introduced a massive consciousness camp, we're maintaining a vigil round those spots,” he mentioned. “At the similar time, the BMC has created a lot of selfie-points across the city so that folks avoid dangerous spots.”
Shiv Sena MP Rajan Vichare had raised the problem of selfie deaths within the Lok Sabha, in search of information on whether selfies had become a public safety issue, whether the federal government and regulatory our bodies had began tutorial camps to prevent selfie deaths and whether the federal government had introduced no-selfie zones at danger spots within the state.
Replying to the query, minister of state for home Hansraj Ahir mentioned his ministry had asked the state to take speedy measures to prevent selfie deaths at tourist sites and destinations.
