Goa beaches turn into celebration venues as people welcome New Year
Lakhs of tourists and local residents flocked Goa’s beaches after midnight on Wednesday (January 1, 2025) to ring in the New Year.
There was heavy traffic at night on several roads leading to the beaches even as the state police had regulated vehicular movement on busy routes anticipating huge crowd at the seashore.
Most of the prominent beaches in the state started getting crowded from Tuesday (December 31, 2024) evening as people turned up in large numbers to witness the last sunset of 2024.
At the stroke of midnight, people greeted each other to welcome the New Year amid fireworks and musical programmes organised at many beach shacks.
State Governor P.S. Sreedharan Pillai and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant greeted people on the New Year.
