Another illegal spa sealed in Goa

Panaji, June 14 (IANS) Amid a statewide crackdown against illegal massage parlours, the Goa government on Tuesday sealed another spa at Anjuna in North Goa for allegedly operating illegally.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Jivba Dalvi, told IANS that the Collector of North Goa, Mamu Hage, had ordered the sealing of this spa in Anjuna.
