- On August 5, the occasion of the Hindu festival, students of St Sebastian's High School, Loliem, Canacona, went to the school with rakhis tied to their wrists. However, the headmistress is reported to have called the students to her cabin where she allegedly snapped the rakhis.
- After parents reported the incident, members of the Hindu Jan Jagruti Samiti staged a protest in the capital. However, director of education Celsa Pinto was quick to respond and assured the protesters that circulars would be dispatched to all schools asking them not to hurt religious sentiments.
