Innumerable people made a short trip fast the Good Friday long weekend. Many from Karnataka went to Goa and were shocked to experience something unexpectedly when entering Goa. They had to pay a fine of 10,262 because they did not have the special permit necessary to enter Goa. If you drive from Bengaluru to Goa, you may have to pay an overwhelming fine if you do not have this permit.
What is the necessary special permit while driving from Bengaluru to Goa?
According to local media reports, nearly 40 cars were arrested during the Mollem check-off at Goa. Those who have not procure the permit, have to pay the penalty. Anyone traveling from Bengaluru to Goa can buy this special permit from the RTO office in Shanthinagar, Bengaluru and other RTOs in Karnataka. It costs ₹100 to ₹200 and can be easily accessible and affordable to all.
People hope to certainly buy permits at the checkpoint itself and left for the trip. There was a misconception about that and many thought that such services now exist. On the other hand, according to reports, the issue of special permits to enter Goa stopped at the beginning of the month.
The current status of the whole situation:
According to New Indian Express, M Ravi, the Karnataka Vice President Tourism Forum, said Karnataka will soon initiate the issuance of special online permits similar to Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
The unconscious travelers must now pay the fine with force to continue with their pre-planned holidays. The striking part is that the bigger the vehicle, the greater the fine! The fine for a van entering the territory of Goa without this permit must pay a heavy fine of 17,000₹ and for tourist bus, the fine is 25,000₹.
According to current reports, the Transportation Service launched permits for online state vehicles. The problem of lack of connectivity to control post remains. A department manager shared with the media that all of these things will be supported. Currently, the State Transport Authority delivers special permits in Bengaluru and RTOs in Karnataka to enter Goa.
