MARGAO
With the annual Julus of Eid Milad Un Nabi round the corner, the police authorities have decided to tighten the screws this time round after the communal flare up in the Gogol Housing Board last year.
In fact, Fatorda police station in-charge, PI Kapil Nayak has come out with a host of measures to regulate the procession at the Housing Board, while sending warning to the trouble makers that they would be taken to task under preventive measures under the Criminal Procedure Code.
After a meeting with the Mohala committee of the Gogol Housing Board considering that the Julus is scheduled on November 10, the police has come out with a host of measures, including removal of haphazard parking of two-wheelers along the roadside on the procession route, especially near Gogleshwar temple. Members were told that the police would initiate action against indecent and haphazard parking along the route.
The police further told the members that illumination on both sides of the road, from Marathi/Urdu school to Gogleshwar temple will be allowed from November 7-11 for five days and as such they were told to draw a rough sketch and intimate the police before actual commencement of work on the illumination to avoid any untoward incident.
PI Kapil warned that the police will initiate preventive measures by submitting proceedings under Section 107 of the CrPC before Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Margao against accused persons involved in crimes two days before the Julus. The police also sent out a message loud and clear that other preventive measures will also be taken by issuing notices to the bad characters under section 149 of the CrPC.
