The centre has issued an advisory for all state governments, asking them to classify tourist spots, where there is a need to erect signage warning visitors of the danger involved in taking selfies there and barricading areas wherever possible danger is identified.
According to Union Minister of State for Home Hansraj Ahir, a number of accidents while taking selfies are reported from time to time, which has made Ministry of Tourism (MOT) to come out with an advisory to all state governments and Union Territory administrations to take a number of measures to safeguard tourists. He reportedly said TGA safety and precautionary measures, including declaration of ‘No Selfie Zones’, to prevent any untoward incident are the major responsibilities of the state governments and the concerned Union Territories administrations.
