Panaj: Sunburn can still hold the event in Goa, as long as they pay back-dues of Rs. 1.75 crore for providing police personnel for security cover, said Goa Tourism minister Dilip Parulekar on Monday.
While speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in the state capital, organised to inaugurate a multi-level car parking facility, Parulekar also said that the Goa government had not closed its doors on the event.
“They had given us an application. We still haven’t rejected it. Their application is pending before the (single window) committee,” said Parulekar adding, “The only thing is that they had to pay to my police department in back dues. We have said that the police department back-dues have to be paid and we are processing your file for permission. Once the file is processed, they can host the festival here.”
The Sunburn has been organising the EDM festival over the last few years. The second EDM festival, Supersonic has already relocated to Pune, while there are rumours that Sunburn is also likely to move out of Goa.
