"To enable the law enforcement agency to effectively discharge their duties, my government has made all efforts to enhance the capabilities of Goa police by augmenting infrastructure and through modernisation of police force," the Governor said.

Sinha also expressed satisfaction over the safety and security of women in the tourist state.

"I take great satisfaction in mentioning that while effectively keeping the law and order situation in control in the state, the government has also paid extra attention to issues relating to security and safety of women in Goa," she said.
