I really wonder what the police pay-packet is like. Perhaps he was lonely, but more likely I guess, he was owing someone some favours which he could not deliver. Gabriel de Figueiredo. Melbourne - VIC - Australia. ................ It is not always money. Most of the lower rung cops are put on "bandobust" duty whenever a VIP comes to Goa or there is a festival or rioting. The police who cannot "bhandh" go "bust". It is no joke standing in the sun for 5 to 7 hours without food or water....or a kind word at the end of the day. It is true that the cops do not deliver on crime detection. It is also true that their morale is so low that they just do not care. The policeman's duty needs to be defined in a manual. The CMs and Dy.CMs roaming about with 10 policemen in tow do nothing to increase the force. 10 police in 3 shifts means that 30 policemen are overworked . No one takes over their duties in the respective police stations. I know policemen working 14 hours a day 7 days a week without leave or relaxation. there needs to be some games room and a place to have a good shower at every police station. Some days the police stations do not even have enough water to wash the plates during summer. Viva Goa. Miguel _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
