The government on Friday extended Drishti's lifeguarding contract for three more years. So till 30th June 2022. So as per the government order Drishthi Marine will continue to manage Beach Lifeguarding and Water Safety Services on the states 105 km coastline.



Dristhi first started in 2008 after the government wanted a highly skilled operater because of Goa being a beach tourist spot. Distri says that after it took over the 105km coastline has seen a reduction of drowning incidents by 99% and till date 5000+ lives have been saved.   





However on the other hand, there are many Dristhi lifeguards on strike. They have been demanding tha the government scrap Dristhi's contract. And take all lifeguards under it.
