VASCO
Cortalim MLA Anton Vas on Wednesday convened a joint meeting with various government officials to review security and law and order facilities in his Cortalim constituency during the upcoming festive season.
Speaking to reporters after the joint meeting, Vas said besides the Christmas and New Year celebrations, a lot of feasts had been lined up in the constituency in January.
“We have the Feast of St Joseph Vaz at Sancoale on January 16 and we also have a big Zatra at Birla from January 2-6. We also have the Feast of Three Kings and I decided to have a joint review meeting with various departments including Dy Collector, Fire, PWD, Electricity department, police etc.,” said Vas.
“We had a lot of discussions and we also had requests and grievances placed before us by Fr Kenneth Teles of the Sancoale Church ahead of the St Joseph Feast.”
“We have insisted that the Feasts and Zatras in our Cortalim constituency be smooth and without any untoward incidents. Officials of different departments agreed to make all proper arrangements for smooth flow of traffic.”
The MLA said he has also asked police for additional patrolling and also directed that all electrical poles must have proper illumination.
