The soaring crime levels is a very clear indicator that Goa has become a very unsafe destination. Due to the lack of foresight by successive governments, the Paradise of the East, Goa, is today a drug, gambling, prostitution and crime den. And the situation will only further deteriorate as long as politicians control and manipulate the functioning of police stations.
The onus is on the Director-General of Police to ensure that the entire police machinery upholds the rule of law at all times and is free from political manipulation. The current DGP has been a disaster in ensuring this. We will now have a new DGP who is due to retire in ten months.
We have some very competent persons in all ranks within the Goa police but it is those black sheep that put the entire police force to disgrace and disrepute. Unless these criminal-minded officers are flushed out of the system, maintaining law and order may be a far fetched dream.
