“First Information Report (FIR) was lodged by the chief officer at your police station on August 24 and till date no action has been taken by police nor arrest has been made yet and such incident may occur again if no action is taken” they stated in the memorandum submitted to Curchorem police inspector and copies sent to local MLA Nilesh Cabral, Director of Municipal Administration, President of Goa Municipal Employees Association Keshav Prabhu, Curchorem-Cacora Municipal Council Chairperson and chief officer.
