It is high time for the local gangs and goons to understand the importance of social life, fighting on the streets with choppers and swords and killing someone is not acceptable in the civilized society and to curb this Goa Police is considering the invocation of National Security Act (NSA) and once NSA comes into the force the goons and antisocial elements will be behind bars with no bail.
It will be very bad for the beautiful place like Goa to have NSA invoked but the police will have no option left if the people start settling their scores on the road, killing each other for the petty things and Goa will become the next state to UP where NSA is already invoked for using the firearms in public.

In the ensuing warfare, one person lost his hand at the wrist after it was chopped off with a sword. The previous enmity was the motive.

According to the times of India, eight members of one gang attacked three members of a rival group. According to Panaji Police Inspector, Sudesh Naik the incident occurred at a garage in Nagali, Taleigao, where the victims had come to repair their vehicle.
The previous enmity was the cause of the attack. According to information, enmity developed after the eight embers broke off from the three to join another group. It is a case of friends turned foes.
According to the Old Goa PI Jivba Dalvi, the eight accused – four of whom were masked – came armed with swords and iron rods and to the trio by surprise.
