Inquiry report on riots submitted
Herald reporter 22 February, 2007
North Goa Collector Nikhil Kumar IAS today submitted the magisterial
inquiry report on the Sanvordem Curchorem riots to the Chief-
Secretary J P Singh.
The report comes almost nine months after the magisterial inquiry was
ordered and almost 11 months after the incident took place.
The Chief Secretary Mr. Singh confirmed the submission of the report
today and said that it would be examined by the government to see what
action has to be taken.
The Citizens' Initiatives for Communal Harmony which has been closely
following the inquiry ever since it was initiated in May last, has
through its convenor Albertina Almeida demanded that the report should
be made public forthwith. Almeida said the CICH is hoping for a
repot that goes to the bottom of the incident pinpoints lapses and
people responsible.
