GHRC notices to Goa CS, DGP over 'lack of facilities' for cops

Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) today issued notices to the state Chief Secretary and DGP over the alleged lack of toilet and drinking water facilities for the police staff guarding the Secretariat complex at Porvorim near here.
The complaint was filed with the commission by social activist Aires Rodrigues, who had alleged that there was no provision for toilet and drinking water for policemen on duty.
"The GHRC issued notices to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP) on the issue today," Rodrigues told PTI.
The activist alleged there was no provision for a toilet and even drinking water in the guard room recently constructed at the entrance of the Secretariat at Porvorim. The room accommodates a battalion of 16 police staff, including two women police posted on security duty round the clock to guard the Secretariat complex.

In his complaint, Rodrigues stated that it was very disturbing that this "inhuman" treatment was being meted out to the police personnel posted at the Goa Assembly Complex.
