Manohar Parrikar, Goa's new chief minister seems to be a man in a hurry. After assuming office last month, Parrikar has first reduced the price of petrol in the state by Rs 11 and now, has decided to go ahead with its proposed Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), a specialised unit conceived to combat any possible
terrorist attack in the coastal state.


Parrikar, emerging from the first ever high level meeting of the police department in Panaji, said the ATS is very much on cards as it is the requirement of modern day policing.


"This is a specialised cell which is required for the state. We should have cells like ATS and Coastal Security Police, which are specially made to deter terrorists," Parrikar told reporters yesterday.
