The exceptional performance of stations like Verna, recognized as one of the best in the state, has lifted the shadows over the police hierarchy in Goa.”

In an appeal to the government, D’Souza urged, “We call upon our Hon’ble C.M. Dr. Pramod Sawant, who oversees the Home Department, to ensure the Verna Police Department receives adequate staff and facilities. This support is essential for them to effectively carry out their duties.”
