Goa Governor Mridula Sinha today said attempts by any group or section to disturb peace and tranquillity in the state will be dealt with sternly.

"Goa is an example of harmony and tranquillity and my government believes in strengthening the bonds of amity through peaceful resolution of disputes and differences through dialogue and discussions," Sinha said while addressing the state Legislative Assembly session which began today.

"Attempts by any group or section to disturb the peace and tranquillity by means other than democratic, shall be met with full force of law," she said without naming any organisation.
