PANJIM, SEPT 23
Goa police has placed all security measures on stand till the next date after Supreme Court deferred Friday’s verdict on Ayodhya to September 28, police Spokesperson Superintendent of (Special Branch) Police Atmaram Deshpande said.
“Security was enhanced as a precautionary measure that could arise after the verdict on Ayodhya case. However, since the Supreme Court has deferred the verdict, all security steps are put on hold till the next date,” said the officer.
A high level meeting of ministers, bureaucrats and police was held on Wednesday to organise peace committee meetings in sensitive areas of Goa on Friday.
Chief Minister Digambar Kamat at a press conference had also requested locals not to fall prey to any propaganda that could lead to communal fury after the Court delivers the verdict.
Section 144 of CrPC was imposed and Quick Response Teams and police personnel were deployed at all sensitive areas including Margao, Davorlim, Curchorem and other places. The state had also directed that all vehicles entering Goa through major and other points be checked.
These security measures will now be practiced on the day when Supreme Court passes its order on a fresh date.
