The Goa tourism administration revealed on Sunday that it has not authorized paragliding at the site after two paragliders died in a crash at Keri plateau in North Goa.
On Saturday night, Shivani Dable, 27, of Pune, and her teacher, Sumal Nepali, 26, of Nepal, were killed after their paraglider fell into a gulf not long after it took off from a cliff in Keri village, North Goa.
According to the police, Dable made the decision to paraglide with an adventure sports organization that was not legally authorized.
Shekhar Raizada, the proprietor of the business, has been charged by the Mandrem police with endangering human life.
The tourism department expressed its sympathies and made it clear that it had not granted any “permission or approval” for paragliding at Keri plateau in a media statement.
“The aforementioned action was being carried out unlawfully and without permission. The agency reaffirms its dedication to making sure that all tourism-related operations in the state closely follow safety guidelines and licensing requirements,” the statement read.
In an effort to stop future occurrences of this kind, the government also urged travelers and operators to put safety first by utilizing only authorized and licensed services.
“An inquiry will be conducted, and strict action will be taken against those found responsible for this unauthorised operation,” it added.

In the meantime, authorities said on Saturday that two visitors were found dead in a 24-hour period while paragliding in Himachal Pradesh. In the state, the deaths happened in two different occurrences.
The fatalities were identified as Jayash Ram of Tamil Nadu and Bhavsar Khushi, a Gujarati woman. At two separate paragliding locations in the Kangra and Kullu regions of Himachal, they were involved in deadly accidents.
Khushi, a tourist from Ahmedabad, was on a tandem paragliding trip when the first accident happened on Saturday at the Indrunag paragliding location near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Khushi died after falling from the skies during takeoff, and the pilot was hurt when he plummeted with her. Vir Bahadur, Kangra’s Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), said he was later taken to Tanda Medical College for treatment.
