MARGAO
Police stations in the Salcete division had to literally run with less staff on Thursday with skeletal staff as the force was requisitioned for bandobast duties in Melauli.
Barring the Margao police station, the Goa police requisitioned the police officers and constabulary for the law and order duties at Melauli.
Resultantly, the police stations of Colva, Maina-Curtorim, Fatorda and Cuncolim and not to mention the police stations down South had to literally run with minimum manpower. The officers and staff were believed to have returned back to their respective police stations only late in the evening.
Even during the anti-coal and track-doubling agitation, police higher-ups had been requisitioning police manpower from the entire Salcete sub-division comprising of the police stations of Margao, Maina-Curtorim, Fatorda, Cuncolim and Colva.
