Culprits involved should be shot, says Vijai

the goan I networkrMARGAO r rHe also pushed his demand before the government to carve out a separate police station for Fatorda in the wake of the spate of burglaries in his constituency in the last few days. rWhen the media asked his comment on the act of desecration of crosses and graves at Curchorem, the TCP Minister, while condemning the desecration, said those who indulge in this acts should be shot at by the law enforcing agencies. “Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar has roped in the Anti-Terror squad (ATS) of the Goa police to assist in the investigations into the desecration cases. What this implies means that the government has taken the issue very serious as it considers desecration an act of terror. In these circumstances, I think the police should go all out to nab the culprits”, he said. rMeanwhile, expressing concern over spate of burglaries in Fatorda constituency, Sardesai has renewed his demand for separate police station for Fatorda. “I think the way burglaries are taking place, there’s no option than to have a separate police station for Fatorda,” he said. rIn fact, the Fatorda MLA said his demand for a separate police station for Fatorda stands vindicated with the spate of thefts and burglaries in the area in recent times. “I am now of the strong opinion that Fatorda needs a separate police station. Margao police station, I think, cannot give justice for Fatorda. The government should immediately set up a separate police station. I think it is the right of the people of Fatorda to have a separate police station to secure their life and property”, he said, adding that he would push for a separate police station for Fatorda after the return of the Chief Minister from abroad. rMeanwhile, the TCP Minister has called a joint meeting on Tuesday morning with the district Collector, district police chief, deputy collectors, DySPs and Police station in-charges from South Goa at the district Collectorate building to review the progress of investigations in cases of desecration of religious structures in entire South Goa, besides burglaries in Fatorda constituency.
