A 15 member delegation of the Motorcycle Action Group(MAG) led by its Convenor Mr. Premanand A. Lotlikar will on Thursday 4th November call on Goa Governor S.C Jamir at Raj Bhavan and seek his intervention on the helmet issue. The delegation will brief Governor Jamir of the high-handed and ruthless harassment being meted out to two-wheeler riders by the Goa police. The delegation will inform the Governor that inview of the Goa Legislative assembly on July 29th having unanimously decided to set up a committee to study the helmet issue the current helmet drive by the police was in breach and amounted to contempt of the Goa Legislative Assembly. The delegation will urge the Governor to direct the Goa police to immediately stop harassing two-wheeler riders on village roads and state highways and as to National Highways to wait for the outcome of the high level committee headed by Transport Minister Pandurang Madkaikar which has been recently constituted by the Government to study the helmet issue. The delegation will also inform the Governor that though the Government claims that it did not have enough police force to maintain law and order the police force was out in full strength to challan and harass two-wheeler riders across Goa. The delegation will demand that the Government take some immediate genuine and concrete steps to deal with the root causes of accidents and to also curb the rampant corruption that has engulfed the police and transport departments.
