The hardest part about solving a problem is identifyingit. Once the problem is identified then it can be solved. For instance, Goaseems to be ‘ideally suited’ to having its ATMs physically stolen away. What isthe problem here? The robbers know that the law is lax here. Stealing ATMs iscommon, therefore not a problem. The info required for stealing the same isvery easily obtained because security guards’ antecedents are not verified bythe police. Owners of rented premises do not inform the police about theirtenants. The key objective of the top police is to fill the coffers bychallaning motorists. Incidentally, how many ‘noisy’ bike owners have beenpenalised and tinted glasses removed by way of complaints from the public? Now,this too is a good initiative but remember, the Goa Lokayukta has just twopolice constables under him. SOP-flouting parties continue in Goa. Politiciansfrom all parties are working together. The organisers are never arrested. And,Centre considers Goa as its toy to play around with. Goa continues to sacrificesix to ten law-abiding citizens on a daily basis to the dreaded Covid. Thegovernment seems to have identified the problem -- citizens fail to seek earlyhelp. If the problem has been identified, then why is it not solved?
