Police should protect Goans

The current situation in Goa resembles Aaj Ka Goonda Raaj. Goa Police seem to protect builders and the real estate mafia for money, while elected officials are complicit in selling off Goa. Bouncers are carrying out goondaraj in broad daylight, taking money to empty homes, assault people, and issue threats. When locals try to defend their villages, these bouncers, supported by the mafia and politicians, resort to violence. Outsiders, with money, are trying to seize our land and homes.

These bouncers carry weapons while Goa Police have only bamboo sticks. Instead of seeking help from the police, people turn to bouncers for muscle power. Corruption is rampant, with everything sold out for greed. Outsiders, backed by some villagers and Sarpanchs, are bullying Goans. It’s time for Goans to unite and fight for Goa. We cannot rely on NGOs alone; Goa belongs to every Goan. Stay cautious, stay united, and show the power of the common man.
