A nine year old girl was raped in Goa although her mother was also there on the beach. According to Daily Tribune- there is threat of travel advisory by Russia. What this will effect Goa tourism ? I do not think it is going to effect at all..

Russia today threatened to issue an advisory to its citizens not to travel to Goa if Indian authorities failed to bring to justice the man who raped a nine-year-old Russian girl at a beach resort yesterday.

“Three such cases have happened in recent days. If no action is taken, we shall have no option,” Russian Ambassador Alexander Kadakin told reporters on the margins of a function to felicitate former governor and Union minister Bhishma Narain Singh on receiving “Order of Friendship,” the prestigious Russian state award.

Kadakin was responding to a question whether Moscow had any proposal to issue a travel advisory. He, however, clarified that so far there has been no such advice to Russians.

“We want to see how the events unfold in Goa because we expect the Indian state to take immediate steps to get the culprits involved in this terrible crime.”

He said Russians never thought that such a thing could happen. The criminals behind the crime should be “caught and severely punished.”

The envoy said he had faxed his country’s view in the matter to Home Minister P Chidambaram and expected the government to act fast. His country would also see how the state government reacted.

Asked whether the Centre had shared with him any information that had been passed on to it by the state government, he said the Embassy had no information.

Replying to a question, the envoy confirmed that Russia’s national security advisor would be visiting India next week for talks with Indian officials on security-related matters.

The visit was part of the regular exchanges between the two countries.

He said the visiting NSA would meet his Indian counterpart Shiv Shankar Menon, who he said had done a lot to promote Indo-Russian friendship.

Asked if Russia was satisfied with the sites allotted to it by the Indian Government in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu for setting up nuclear plants, he said two sites had been given in Haripur in West Bengal and Koodankulam in Tamil Nadu.

Two units were nearing completion and Russia would set up four or six more units in case it had enough territory there.
