The Goa tourism department on Sunday clarified that it had not granted permission for paragliding at Keri plateau, a day after two persons were killed while engaging in the adventure sport.

Pune resident Shivani Dable, 27, and her instructor Sumal Nepali (26), a Nepalese national, lost their lives when their paraglider crashed into a ravine after taking off from a cliff at Keri village in North Goa on Saturday evening.

According to police, Dable had opted to paraglide with an adventure sports company operating illegally.

The Mandrem police have booked company owner Shekhar Raizada for endangering human life.

In a media statement, the tourism department expressed condolences and said it had not granted permission or approval for paragliding at Keri plateau. -- PTI
