They should realise that the world is changing. If Goa is serious about controlling terrorism, why does the foreigners’ registration office (FRO) in Panjim turn away those who want to register within fourteen days as per information on their visa? It is strange that the FRO refuses to implement this and tells them to come back after five months. Surely, in order to keep track of foreigners’ whereabouts, they should do the duties entrusted to them as per Indian government’s visa requirements. As for the FRO in Panjim, I know of one lady who managed to get the stamp allowing her to come back earlier this year within the 2 month period - when she went as stipulated to the FRO to register, she was brushed aside with an "it's not necessary" & that's after rousing 4 "officials" from their lethargy. She was terrified when she finally left India in case this failure to register was noted by the officials at Mumbai. Why bother having an FRO if the employees can't be a***d to do their job? :thumbdown::curse::curse::curse::thumbdown:- pardon my lapse into the vernacular.:rofl::rofl::rofl: |
