Panaji, May 24 (PTI) The Goa government is considering the possibility of organising a festival on the lines of Sunburn, but with a different flavour, state Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters, Khaunte said that the state government is yet to give permission for Sunburn EDM festival in December. However, when informed that the event has already been announced, he said the organisers cannot take the state government for granted.

"This year, we are trying to create our own festival. If we are able to organise a festival in December at the same time, with a different flavour on the same lines, then why not," the minister said.

If Sunburn organisers have announced the festival on social media, they should understand that they need permission from the Goa government, he said.
