In his letter to state Chief Minister Digambar Kamat Thursday, Pacheco has said that “an impression is gaining ground that the police in Goa is either grossly incompetent or is influenced by other factors as a result of which complaints are not properly investigated”.
“There is a fear that foreign embassies may issue an advisory to their nationals to avoid Goa as a holiday destination in view of the pathetic performance of the Goa police,” Pacheco stated.
