In Ponda, cases of burglary have been constantly on the rise. Recently five flats in a building at Borim were targeted. Similarly, another burglary was reported at Kurtarkar Arcade Complex followed by a recent case at the residential quarters of staff of Goa Dairy at Curti. In this case, the miscreants fled with gold ornaments of around Rs five lakh. The situation is rather serious and people need to remain cautious and take necessary precautions in order to ensure safety of their belongings. At housing societies and bigger complexes, CCTVs must be installed compulsorily to expedite the investigation to be carried out by the police department in case any robbery takes place, sooner or later. The same need to remain functional throughout and hence regular maintenance work in this regard is a must. It is time for the Ponda police to intensify patrolling during the night by deputing additional police personnel. Persons found moving suspiciously during late nights should be interrogated thoroughly. Of course, the declining law and order should improve at all costs.
