Nakabandis staged across Goa

In a bid to check the preparedness of its force, Goa police on Saturday staged widespread nakabandis and checking of vehicles all over the state.

Police sources said that the nakabandis were organized in an effort to test police alertness. All the entry and exit points of major cities and tourist spots were sealed and extensive vehicular checking was done.

Since Goa continues to feature on the hit list of terror organizations, this security drill was undertaken, said police sources.

“We checked the vehicles as part of a state of preparedness,” sources said. Unaware of the exercise, motorists were taken aback, but the police reassured them that everything was alright and the checks were part of a mock drill.
