The Police in Goa seem to be afflicted by the "OSTRICH SYNDROME". A number of Director General's of Police,no less, have been parroting that Goa is not a TRANSIT or SUPPLY point for the narcotic & psychotropic substance trade. Their assertions dont seem to hold water or pass muster amongst knowledgeable sources who point out that consistent hauls of narcotic and psychotropic drugs in States neighbouring Goa clearly establish a Goa connection.Some months back there were persons arrested in Belgaum in Karnataka. Amongst those arrested was a POLICE CONSTABLE serving in the GOA POLICE!!. Another arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Central Government in neighbouring Maharashtra revealed foreign National based in Goa connection to the dangerous drug trade. The Narcotics Control Bureau subsequently were able to arrest the foreign National in Goa. Today comes the report that a person was arrested in Bangalore who on interrogation revealed connections to Goa. The CNN-IBN report causes disquiet as it reveals that Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) and Methylene Dioxy Amphetamine (MDA) were procured from Netherlands through a person in Goa. These facts beg the question. IS NOT GOA A TRANSIT/ SUPPLY POINT FOR DRUGS? Or are you going to give a spin Mr. DGP and say that " One crow does not a summer make"?

The Goa Police must wake up and get its act together, lest they become the butt of more opprobrium and ridicule by the citizenry resident in Goa, and the people of India and the World at large. The credentials of Goa as a safe tourist destination is also at stake. Remember Tourism is amongst the top two revenue earners for Goa. It is rumoured that the current DGP of Goa is quite often missing on duty due to his being in the clutches of a Guru who insists that he do "DHYAN"( loosely described as meditation) It is reported that he was found missing from duty during the time of the recent Balli riots.It is also reported that the next in Command Ms. Sundari Nanda IPS was found to be unequal to the task and merely "wrung" her hands. Come on MR. DGP get out your trance.The BADGES OF RANK WORN BY YOU HAVE A STAFF AS AN INSIGNIA OF YOUR POLICE OFFICE. DO WE NEED TO EDUCATE YOU THAT THE INSIGNIA OF STAFF IN YOUR BADGES OF RANK STANDS FOR THE COERCIVE POWER OF OUR COUNTRY IN THE DEFENCE OF ITS CITIZENS !!!. Learn from the example of the Delhi Police Commissioner who personally led his men -- complete with his Staff and Riot gear against the unruly citizens led by another Baba in Delhi. Dear DGP,you are heir to a glorious tradition of the INDIAN POLICE SERVICE in the likes of Officers like Mr. John Lobo, Mr. Julio Rebeiro,Mr. Ronald Mendonca, Mr. KPS Gill, Mr. Arvind Inamdar, and a pantheon of other competent Police Officers DONT DISGRACE YOURSELF. DONT LET DOWN THE CITIZENRY. DONT LET DOWN THE COUNTRY. THE CENTRAL GOVT. MUST ALSO TAKE HEED OF THE SITUATION AND CRACK THE WHIP SUCH AS TO GET RESULTS OR POST A MORE BOLD, DETERMINED AND SUAVE OFFICER TO REPLACE THE TIMOUROUS DGP. Long Live the Republic of India, that is Bharat! Gerry
