Goa Transport Minister Sudin Dhavalikar today informed the House that the state government would request Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited (KTCL) to remove advertisement promoting condom on their buses.

State run KTCL has been displaying condom advertisements on their buses featuring actress Sunny Leone.

"I will personally request Chairman and Managing Director of Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited to remove such advertisements," he said on the floor of the House referring to the objection to the advertisement raised by Congress legislator Francis Silveira.

Dhavalikar said whatever posters that are objected to by the public would be removed.

Earlier in the past, right wing Hindu organisation Ranaragini, a wing of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, had objected to the condom advertisements on the KTCL buses which also double up as school buses during morning and afternoon hours.
