Law and order is key to the prosperity and well being of any society. A small state like Goa could have maintained its peace and tranquility but the current ground realities are a matter of great concern. With no corrective steps being taken we have almost reached a point of no return.
Goa is sadly witnessing a total breakdown in the law and order situation. The spurt in the number of rapes, molestation and theft cases is a matter of grave concern. The number of murders and suicides are also escalating by the day. Today women and the young girls in particular are no longer safe on the streets. A lot of cases also go unreported for various reasons. Mostly because of people’s lack of trust and faith in the authorities. Sadly the fear of law is lacking. The buck stops at the door of the Chief Minister who has utterly failed as the Home Minister. May be the Home portfolio needs to be assigned to somebody more competent and capable in order to get the current messy Goa in order. While as Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had consistently blamed then Home Minister Ravi Naik for the huge number of crimes. Who is to be blamed now, Mr. Chief Minister. Over the last 18 months the crime rate has been swelling with the situation having got from bad to worse. The crime rate bulge is no better even in the Panaji constituency which is represented by the Chief Minister himself. In the wee hours of yesterday morning four bikes, one belonging to our friend Vallabh Narvekar were set on fire in the heart of the city on Atmaram Borkar Road. There is outrage and despair all over on the deteriorating law and order. Time to act, Mr. Manohar Parrikar. Or else it may be Morya soon. Over to you, Mr. Vishnu Wagh.
