TO, SCHOOL PRINCIPALS / HEADMISTRESS Today ( 28th Dec 2014), I read in all the local newspapers two contradictory news coming, one from Goa Police Dept where Principals and headmistress have attended the meet. Chairperson of the meet PI Prubhudesai advises all the schools to deploy armed security men in view of intrusion by Pakistanis or any other gang operating in Goa and at the same time an another news appeared today itself coming from a Defence Minister and ex-CM of Goa Mr Manohar Parrikar saying that future of Goa is very safe. Going through these reports especially from a Defence Minister, it appears that there is no need for any security men to be made available at the schools since these children being minor there can be an another problem if the security men themselves misbehaves with the children during the interval time. It is better that a CCTV may be appropriate to have in all the schools and the Principals can monitor the movement of children instead of having a security cover unless it becomes very essential in future. That could be another financial burden to schools.
