Cuncolim MLA Inspects Outpost for Full-Fledged Police Station.

Margao: Cuncolim MLA Yuri Alemao on Thursday carried out an inspection of the Police Outpost at Chandor to set up a proposed full-fledged police station at the same location.Speaking to the media, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao said that he had proposed this police station to provide better facilities to locals and address the growing crime rate. “Nowadays, the crime rate has increased in Goa. It was shocking to see that some miscreants dared to break open four shops in the heart of Panaji city. Not only in cities, but robbers are also targeting houses and shops in villages. This is one of the reasons why there was a need for a full-fledged police station in Chandor, which is our heritage village,” Alemao said.He stated that people were forced to travel to the Maina-Curtorim police station to lodge complaints, which is almost eight to nine kilometres away. “In the absence of a full-fledged police station, people were being sent to Maina-Curtorim police station from the Police Outpost. This practice is wasting the time and money of locals. Hence, there was an absolute need for this police station,” Alemao pointed out.“The goal is to establish a comprehensive law enforcement facility that meets community needs. This development will fulfil another long-held aspiration of the locals, while Chandor is transforming into a heritage village,” he added.Alemao was accompanied by officials and local stakeholders while inspecting the Police Outpost at Chandor in the Cuncolim constituency, which currently lacks basic facilities.Cuncolim MLA Alemao said that he will try to complete this project at the earliest and has already directed officials to expedite the formalities.
