Captain of Ports Department, in a circular issued last week, allowed the water sports activity in Goa's inland water between June to August with the condition that it should be stopped during unfair weather.
The water sports activities are allowed in rivers Sal, Chapora, Zuari and Dona Paula bay which is an initiative to promote monsoon tourism, Captain of Ports James Braganza said.
The state government has banned water sports activities on the beaches due to rough sea condition, he said, adding, "the activities in rivers too would be witheld during unfair weather."
He said the water sports operators who have been granted permission should operate in their respective villages and from their own property, to avoid any disputes and disruption of harmony.
The permission to these operators would stand immediately withdrawn in case of congestion in the river ways, local fishermen's problems, safety of navigation (of vessels using the river) and other issues, the Captain of Ports added.
