Today's ( 20th March 2017) Herald publishes in their Citizen Herald page a story on duplicate Key making shops which are mushrooming in whole of Goa. It is rightly said that the key making shops must be banned because of number of robberies, thefts,burglaries, murders, lifting vehicles, opening locks of the shops, bungalows, flats, and decamping away lakhs of money, jewelery,etc., These incidents are alarming day by day and these key makers are Non- Goans and they come down from other states and running this business with the help of our local owners of these shops where they are openly allowed them to advertised to fix their boards and perform these kind of illegal activities. Surprisingly our Government does not object such illegalities and I am sure no licence is issued by any authority which is supposed to be CCP.. The Panjim market our CCP has also made a mess and also the St Ines creek. Will the new Government take up such cases one by one and stop such malpractices?. After reading the story in Herald " BAN DUPLICATE KEY MAKING SHOPS" I decided to click some photographs of some shops owned by well to do businessmen in the town, who have allowed these key makers to run the business in the city for their own SELFISH interest. From these photographs one can see that, we have 4 to 5 shops within a radius of 25 square metres at the average of one key maker within one metre distance right in the centre of the city near General Post Office ( GPO) and the session court premises. ( see photographs attached), Who is to be blamed? These local Goan businessmen owners must be fined for supporting these illegalities.. Will the CCP take up this matter based on Herald publication on their Citizen Herald reporting and ban all illegal shops immediately and also report this matter to Goa Police to help them to take immediate action and prevent such thefts and other dangers to the public.
