Women Deserve to feel safe in their day to day life- Durva Pednekar

Goa Khabar:Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continued its campaign for the safety of women and children, with party leaders submitting memorandums at Ponda and Saligao Police Stations. The leaders called for better police patrolling, functional CCTV cameras and other preventive measures following the disturbing incidents involving women and minor girls in different parts of Goa, including Mapusa and Canacona.

AAP Ponda Assembly Constituency President Geetesh Naik submitted a memorandum at Ponda Police Station, stating that although Ponda has fortunately not witnessed many such incidents, the safety of women and children must remain a priority. He said that such incidents were rarely heard of when he was growing up and urged Home Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant to take immediate steps to prevent crimes against women and ensure a safe environment across Goa.

AAP State Vice President Amit Jog, who accompanied Geetesh Naik, called for increased police patrolling at dark spots across Ponda, proper tenant verification and installation of CCTV cameras at important locations.

AAP North Goa Youth Wing President Durva Pednekar also submitted a memorandum at Saligao Police Station. Referring to the tragic incident in Mapusa, she stressed that girls and women should feel safe in their daily lives. She demanded the installation of CCTV cameras and increased police patrolling to prevent such incidents.

AAP said that ensuring the safety of women and children requires regular police vigilance and timely preventive action, rather than waiting for crimes to occur. The party called for effective implementation of safety measures across Goa.
