MARGAO
Asserting the shootout at police near MES college in Vasco indicates that the crimes in the State have reached a new high, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao has said Goa is converted into a criminal destination with the government under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant promoting crime mafia.
Reacting to the armed robbery at a bungalow in the Zuarinagar area and the attempt to snatch gold from an elderly lady at Lotoulim, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao has demanded that the government must step up action to provide safety and security to the citizens.
"There is a complete collapse of law and order in Goa. The incidents of firing bullet shots at the police by the robbers and the daylight attempt of snatching gold from an elderly lady clearly give a signal that the Police Department is reduced to a spineless force. There is no fear of law enforcing authorities among the criminals," claimed Yuri.
He said the time has come for the government to hold the Police officials responsible and accountable with respect to their jurisdiction of duty.
"Police Department needs to be given advanced gadgets, equipment and vehicles in view of the changing mode of operations of the criminals in Goa," said Yuri.
He added: "The BJP government is obsessed with events and mission total commission. They have no time to look at the concerns of the people. It is high time that the people of Goa realise and teach this most insensitive, irresponsible and corrupt BJP a lesson."
