Governor appeals for peace

the goan I networkrPANAJI r r“The despicable act of desecration of the holy crosses and plaques installed on the graves in the cemetery in Curchorem has pained me beyond words. Such mindless acts of religious vandalism are clearly aimed at breaking the communal fabric of Goan traditional society, where people of all faith, community and creed live in peace and harmony, which has been a hallmark of the State,” Sinha said while appealing to all Goans to remain calm and maintain peace and harmony. r“We cannot be bogged down by such shameful and reprehensible acts rather it should strengthen our resolve to further reinforce the secular tradition of our State,” the Governor said. rShe said that as head of the State she has asked the DGP to act swiftly in the matter and bring the perpetrators to book immediately. r“Such acts warrant zero tolerance on part of police and administration and stringent and full measures must be taken to catch and put the culprits behind bars. rThe police must devise ingenious ways to handle such alarming situations. At the same time, the people of Goa should remain vigilant so that such acts are not repeated,” she said.
