In the wake of Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Sindhudurg and Goa police have heightened their vigilance, jointly deciding to combat crime effectively. Senior officials from both states convened at the Banda Police Station to strategize and ensure a seamless operation during this critical period.
The meeting saw the participation of police officials including Sawantwadi Sub Divisional Police Officer Kavita Gaikwad, North Goa Sub Divisional Police Officer Jivaba Dalvi, and Bicholim (Goa) Sub Divisional Police Officer Sagar Ekoskar, among others. Together, they deliberated extensively on issues pertinent to the inter-state border area.
A major outcome of the meeting was the decision to exchange crucial information relating to declared and fugitive criminals, registered cases, liquor and drug operations, and other relevant data between the two states. This exchange is expected to streamline the process of tracking interstate criminals and enhancing crime detection measures.
Both police administrations have established checkpoints along the Sindhudurg-Goa border, and it was resolved to form a dedicated group comprising officers and personnel stationed at these checkpoints. This group will utilize social media platforms, including a newly formed WhatsApp group, to facilitate swift information sharing and coordinated responses to emerging situations.
