Elite Cops’ Response Sluggish During Mock Drill

As portrayed in Hindi films time and again, the police arrived late at the purported site of terrorist attack in Panjim during a mock drill conducted on Thursday.
The specially constituted Anti Terrorist Squad which is housed in a building situated at a distance of less than a km from Captain of Ports building, arrived nearly 20 minutes after the call was made to it to report terrorists’ presence in the premises.
Teams from the District and Marine Police along with the Bomb Disposal Squad responded quickly, but the specially constituted Anti Terrorist Squad reached late as a result of which the search operations were delayed.
