Goa govt to crack down on foreigners staying illegally

Panaji, Nov 1 (KMW): Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has said the state government will crack-down on all foreigners staying illegally in the State without proper documents and deport them within a month.

Taking strong note of the Nigerian nationals creating ruckus on the National Highway-17 following the murder of their fellow national at village Parra, Mr Parrikar yesterday said the police will crack-down on all illegal foreigners found overstaying in Goa and would be deported.

The Chief Minister also stated that the government will not spare even the police personnel involved in protecting these foreigners and the drug trade and those involved in dereliction of their duties.
