With burglars having dared to step into the Temple of Justice at Panaji, they have ventured into their last possible destination of crime. Afterall, the burglars never opt for the Secretariat or Legislative Assembly to commit a theft as some of their partners in crime are at those citadels of Power. We have grown in a crime free Goa that was known for its peace and tranquility unlike states such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Today we have surpassed those States in crimes of all types. The burning question is while crime is rampant in lawless Goa, who will protect the common man on the street, and more importantly the poorest of the poor and our cherished institutions? Now that even our courts have become easy prey for burglars, all we can seek is the Almighty’s blessings to save and protect us and our land. We have long reached a point where the law enforcement authorities have been conveniently abdicating their bounden and fundamental responsibility to protect and support us and have proven time and time again to be impotent in discharging their responsibility, despite citizens footing the bill.
