GBA*s Notice to all Tourists and Goans
GBA*s Notice to all tourists & Goans, particularly south Goans.
North Goa observes ‘Dry Days’ as follows:
24th Nov 5pm onwards
25th Nov all day
26th Nov till 5pm
29th Nov all day
What’s ‘Dry Day’?
It means no drinking at all ( I mean Alcoholic drinks).
It means all license Alcohol selling premises such as Whole sale, retail sales,
Pubs, Bar & Restaurants, Bar or Abkar, gadhi, sorea dukon etc will be closed
on the above days/timings.
Why on these days?
It’s because of the bye-election/voting that takes place on 26th Nov. at
Pale constituency in Bicholim Taluka
If 26th is the voting day, then why the hell 24, 25 & 26th Nov?
Sorry, I don’t know, please ask Election Commissioner of India
(all affected persons may please attend the public meeting on 22nd Nov at Azad
Maidan Organised by GBA*)
Why 29th?
It’s vote counting day.
With electronic voting machines, it should take less than 30minutes to declare
the winner.
If started say 9am then by 9.30 the official result should be out. Don’t know
why the day also is Dry Day.
What areas covered under North Goa?
Entire North Goa Talukas i.e. Pernem, Satari, Bicholim, Tiswadi & Bardez
Having a total of 253 villages and 120 Panchayats.
Includes Tivim, Mapusa, Calangute, Saligao, Aldona, Madrem, Arambol, Baga,
Anjuna,Sanklli, Mayem, Valpoi, Panjim, Porvorim,Miramar, Taleigao, Dona
Paula,St.Cruz/Merces, Siridao, Agxi etc etc
If voting takes place in Pale, Bicholim tatuka then why ‘dry day’ for other
4 talukas ?
Don’t know. Again, ask ECI

We are going to Old Goa Novena starting from 24th Nov..
Well, Old Goa too comes under North Goa. So, no beer or liquor served in the
stalls or pubs around that area. Choose any other dates/timings than those
mention above and plan your trip to Old Goa accordingly.
You can have 'cheuris paum & sorpotel paum but no copachem'
Incidentally, many IFFI 2008 delegates who come to Goa will also be affected
which starts 22nd Nov till 2nd Dec. (they too can join the GBA’s meeting on
22nd Nov)
We in South Goa are very lucky.. Ha. ha ha..
Don't laugh! If Churchill and Reginald are disqualified then soon you will
face the same fate. North Goans will be lucky then. Ha Ha Ha
Any tips?
- Traditionally, on Dry Days, they say there always exist a hole in the wall
of the Bars or the tavern and liquor always flows through the hole. You could
try that in your area and at your risk.
- Try stocking on 24th Nov. enough to last you for next 2 days. Again, on
28th do the same.
* Did you say GBA?
Yes, surprised?
It’s Goa Boozers Association
