At redressal meetings, police tackle civic and family issues
Panaji:
Property disputes, family disputes, money transfers in good faith, encroachment on properties, parking issues, and blocking access by neighbour were some of the issues raised by the public with senior police officers at the Public Grievances Redressal meetings.
A total of 25 petitions were submitted, and 100 people attended the meetings at various police stations. 'The complainants were assured of speedy redressal of their grievances,' SP (North) Rahul Gupta said.
Gupta said that not caring for senior citizens, property disputes, traffic issues and civil disputes were some of the issues discussed at the meeting.
Those who filed complaints and saw no action initiated by police attended the meeting.
A deputy superintendent of police (DySP) heard the grievances and directed police to take necessary action to resolve the issues.
During the meeting, some people said they gave money in good faith to a person who is now unwilling to return it despite repeated requests. Police told those who borrowed the money to return it to the complainant.
In some cases, people raised issues of hardships due to road access being denied.

Police directed parties not to block road access and cause inconvenience to the public, and they agreed to the suggestions made by police.
In some matters, families approached police to resolve their family property disputes. Police saw a case wherein one brother feared he might not receive any share in the property as his parents favoured the other brother. Some people raised concerns about encroachments on their properties.
On June 21, Gupta will be available at Bicholim police station, SDPO Panaji at Agasaim, SDPO Mapusa at Anjuna, and SDPO Pernem at Mopa.
On June 28, he will be available at Colvale, SDPO Porvorim at Saligao, and SDPO Mapusa at Valpoi police station.
'The SDPOs are instructed to hear the grievances and make all possible efforts to resolve issues by giving timely solutions/justice. The SDPOs will maintain a record of visitors attended by them and follow up on the action suggested or directions issued,' the SP said.
Additionally, PIs of police stations will be mandatorily available in the police station from 4pm to 6pm every day to redress public grievances.
On April 22, Goa police launched 'Samadhan' — aimed to become the ear of the public and help them find an appropriate solution for their grievances, but after some time, it was stopped. Across the state, people were invited to the police stations to discuss their issues with the SDPOs.
During the launch of Samadhan, police said it came to their notice that people were unable to meet the SPs and DySPs, so they were approaching the DGP to get their issues resolved.

Watch: Mahmoud Khalil reunites with family after 104 days in detention; vows to speak up for Palestine even if threatened with death
Mahmoud Khalil reunited with family (Photo: AP) Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian rights advocate and Columbia University graduate, was released after spending over three months in US immigration detention, reuniting with his wife and infant son. The 30-year-old legal US resident walked free from a Louisiana facility on Friday evening after a federal judge ruled his detention unconstitutional. Khalil landed at Newark Airport in New Jersey on Saturday. He was met by cheering supporters and walked out with his wife, Noor Abdalla, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Khalil was seen pushing his baby son, Deen, in a stroller, raising his fist with a Palestinian keffiyeh over his shoulders. — MeghnadBose93 (@MeghnadBose93) Khalil, who faced no criminal charges, was among the most well-known pro-Palestinian students targeted by the Trump administration during campus protests against Israel's war on Gaza. ICE agents in plain clothes arrested him in March in front of his pregnant wife. 'If they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine,' Khalil said during a press conference at the airport. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo 'I just want to go back and continue the work I was already doing, advocating for Palestinian rights, a speech that should actually be celebrated rather than punished.' His release followed a ruling from federal judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, who said the government had failed to prove Khalil posed a flight risk or a danger. '[He] is not a danger to the community,' Farbiarz had said. 'Period, full stop.' The judge further concluded that detaining someone over a civil immigration matter amounted to unconstitutional punishment. The Trump administration has filed a notice of appeal, according to NBC. Khalil's release came after mounting public pressure and legal efforts, with support from multiple Jewish students and faculty at Columbia University. Khalil was previously seen as a bridge-builder, acting as a lead negotiator in 2024 between Jewish and pro-Palestinian student groups during the campus protests. During a past CNN appearance, he said: 'The liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand, and you cannot achieve one without the other.' Khalil had missed the birth of his son, his graduation, and both Mother's Day and Father's Day while in custody. He had only briefly been allowed to see his newborn once earlier in June. 'This is not over, and we will have to continue to support this case,' said Ocasio-Cortez. 'The persecution based on political speech is wrong, and it is a violation of all of our First Amendment rights, not just Mahmoud's.' Upon his release, Khalil said outside the Jena facility, 'Trump and his administration, they chose the wrong person for this. That doesn't mean there is a right person for this. There is no right person who should be detained for actually protesting a genocide.' 'No one is illegal – no human is illegal,' he added. 'Justice will prevail no matter what this administration may try.' As part of the release conditions, Khalil had to surrender his passport and green card and must stay within specific states including New York, Michigan, and Louisiana, notifying authorities of his address within 48 hours, reports the Independent. On Sunday evening, a rally celebrating his release and demanding freedom for other detained immigrants and Palestinians will be held at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in Manhattan.

Flyer misses plane, sprints on runway to board it
Mumbai: Could this be the typical Mumbaikar instinct to rush to catch a just-missed local train? A 25-year-old man from Kalamboli who darted across the city airport after missing his flight was arrested on Thursday for entering the apron — the area where planes are parked, hoping to board the flight he had just missed. Security officials spotted the man, Piyush Soni, running towards the parking area where an Air India flight from Gujarat had landed. The man had arrived at the airport a little after 9.50 am — the deadline for boarding had crossed, said officials of Sahar police station. Soni was unaware that his Air India flight for Patna had already taken off. The aircraft that he was running towards was one that arrived from Bhuj. Soni initially claimed that the driver of a coach, that drops flyers near the aircraft, had "by mistake dropped him close to the runway". However, security officials later said it was a lie, the police said. In a complaint, an Air India staffer has stated that they noticed a man running towards a plane, risking flight movement and potentially causing a fatal incident had some aircraft been taking off. Soni was handed over to airport security (CISF) officials. "During inquiry, Soni revealed that he arrived at the airport late and the gate had closed. He entered the runway by opening the emergency access between gate 42 and gate 43 from inside and ran towards the plane to board it without knowing which one was scheduled to depart," the police said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (1) Your Antivirus May Require Activation Click Here Undo Soni has been booked for endangering lives and offences under the Aircraft Act.
