Panaji: Goa’s sports and youth affairs minister Ramesh Tawadkar on Monday said the government was planning to set up centres to administer treatment to the LGBT youths to make them “normal”.

“A detailed survey would be carried out on the LGBT community so that their problems could be addressed,” he added.
