PORVORIM: Deputy Speaker and Calangute MLA Michael Lobo on Monday urged that there should be an investigation to check whether the State was being used as transit hub for exporting drugs and demanded that agencies should work together to break the drug nexus.
“Recently drugs were seized at one of the IDC plots and I do not think this consignment was for Goa. In my view this consignment was routed to another country and the agencies should check if is Goa is being used as transit point. The agencies should also check on how these are being routed, via airways or waterways. An investigation is being needed.” said Lobo.
He said, “All the agencies along with the central agency should come together to break this nexus. I also urge the Chief Minister to periodically have meetings with the North and South Superintendent of Police (S.P.). The issue of drugs should come to an end.”
He further demanded that the Saligao police station should be scrapped and should be clubbed with Calangute police station. Also the police station at Calangute is in a dilapidated condition and there is an urgent need for an upgradation.
Poriem MLA Pratapsingh Rane demanded that the owner of the plot in which Ketamine was found should be taken to task and action should be initiated.
“Anybody encouraging drugs should not be taken lightly and action should be taken. I demand an investigation into the IDC drugs seizure case.”
