Cancaona Municipal Council Chairperson Prathana Naik Gaunkar was appointed as chairperson of the committee at a specially convened meeting on Sunday.
Speakers condemned the rape and murder of Danielle McLaughlin and called upon the authorities to give maximum punishment to culprits involved in such crimes.
The speakers also recollected how citizens convened several meetings in the past with the authorities, especially with police personnel, on the need to build confidence among public and especially foreign tourists against the rising anti-social activities in the taluka.
