There’s a need to keep a close track on the movement and activities of these criminals to maintain peace and avoid incidents,” 
she said.   
“Records submitted by the respective police stations in South Goa revealed that there are around 95 history sheeters in the district. The police will maintain a close watch on their activities to ensure that they do not disturb the peace in the society,” she added.
She also called on the general public to inform the police on any suspicious activity, especially if a local of questionable repute is seen befriending a foreign tourist, especially a woman. She said the problem can be nipped in the bud before it creates an incident.
