A fallen hoarding leading up to Ghoghla beach in Diu on Thursday Diu: Barring monsoon when heavy rains pound Saurashtra coast, Diu always used to be teeming with lakhs of tourists. Guzzling down chilled beer and lazing around on pristine beaches, tourists, most of them from Gujarat, were the main drivers of this scenic Union territory's economy. One could never get enough of the simple ride on rented scooters as they traversed the roads lined up with coconut trees, which epitomized the beauty of this place. But drive through the town today and you are greeted with depressing scenes of uprooted trees, hotels with glasses and windows shattered and blown away shades. According to officials, nearly 7,000 trees are lying uprooted on the roads.
