Social activist Adv Aires Rodrigues had sought the intervention of the GHRC over the lack of proper amenities and poor working conditions at the Old Goa Police Station and had sought that the Chief Secretary and the DGP be directed to explain why no measures have been taken to improve the state of affairs at the Old Goa Police Station in terms of providing spacious premises and proper amenities as instructed by the GHRC in its inquiry report dated December 21, 2017.
