MARGAO: District Collector, south N D Agrawal on Friday issued directions to various agencies to arrange security and illumination arrangements at the old Margao railway station premises and the adjoining footbridge.
At a meeting in the district Collectorate, directions were issued to the PWD for the proper maintenance of the footbridge and its illumination in view of the fact that the bridge has been handed over to the PWD.
Similar direction were issued to the Power department to ensure proper illumination of the old station premises, while directions went to the Men-in-uniform to constantly monitor the area and keep the anti-socials at bay.
