Burglars struck again in the commercial capital at will, sparking outrage amongst traders and citizens alike on Sunday.
After the spate of burglaries and attempted thefts, burglars struck the Margao Municipal New Market in the wee hours of Sunday, targeting around 7-8 establishments and decamping with cash.
President of the Margao New Market Traders Association Gopal Naik said the traders have lodged a complaint with the Margao police after burglars targeted around 7-8 establishments inside the market. He said the burglars targeted the shops at around 4 am in the morning, adding that there was a lone security personnel manning the entire market last night.
Gopal also disclosed plans to call on Margao Municipal authorities on Monday to demand additional security personnel to keep burglars at bay.
Meanwhile, leader of Madganvcho Awaaaz has said that Madganvkar's safety & security has gone for a toss.
“Local MLA and Councillors are occupied in promoting nepotism. Spree of thefts & robberies in last 15 days but Digambar Kamat is silent. Madganvcho Awaaz demands immediate intervention of SP South Goa for deployment of additional police in Margao for patrolling", demanded Prabhav Naik.
