Goa government directed all barge owners or masters to cover their vessels which are carrying or transporting coal or cargo through inland waterways of Goa.
The state government asked barge owners or masters to cover their vessels with tarpaulin in order to mitigate air pollution that may be caused by the cargo.
Violations of the above instructions will be viewed seriously, warned a spokesman of the Captain of Ports Department.
The Congress has alleged that the import of coal and its subsequent transportation by barges led to pollution in the city.
