Cuncolim MLA Yuri Alemao carried out inspection of police outpost at Chandor to build a proposed full-fledged police station in its place.
Speaking to media, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao said that he had proposed this police station to give better facilities to locals and address the growing crime rate. “Now a day, crime rate has increased in Goa. It was shocking to see that some miscreants dared to break open four shops in the heart of Panaji city. Not only in cities, but robbers are targeting houses and shops in villages too. This is one of the reasons why there was need of full-fledged police station in Chandor, which is our heritage village,” Alemao said.
He said that people were forced to travel to Maina-Curtorim police station to lodge complaints, which is almost eight to nine kilometres away. “In absence of full-fledged police station, people were sent to Maina-Curtorim police station from police outpost. This practice is wasting time and money of locals. Hence there was absolute need of this police station,” Alemao pointed out.
“The goal is to establish a comprehensive law enforcement facility that meets community needs. This development will fulfil another long-held aspiration of the locals, whilst Chandor’s transforming into a heritage village,” he said.
Alemao was accompanied by officials and local stakeholders, while inspecting the police outpost at Chandor in Cuncolim constituency, which lacks in facilities.
Cuncolim MLA Alemao said that he will try to complete this project at the earliest and has already directed officials to expedite the formalities.
