MARGAO (GOA): Curfew was imposed in Margao town in South Goa on Friday after
members of two communities clashed with each other following an eve-teasing
incident.
The town, known as the commercial capital of Goa, saw mobs vandalising
Gandhi market and other business establishments.
Police said it was a "petty" fight to begin with when two groups assaulted
each other over the issue of eve teasing. However, it took a serious turn
when youths from both the communities joined, snowballing the entire episode
into a riot.
"We have imposed curfew in the town. The situation right now is under
control," Superintendent of Police (South) Shekhar Prabhudesai said.
Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat said he has asked law enforcement officers
to mount police presence in the town.
"We have asked for the extra force. I am yet to get full details about the
episode," Kamat, who was in Panaji, said.
Margao town is a heart of Margao constituency represented by the Chief
Minister.
