Every extension in service or contract appointment given beyond the retirement age is a cruel and grave injustice to the Youth. The Government as a matter of rule should ensure that there is a total ban on any such extensions in service and contract appointments to the retired. It is a severe prejudice to those […]

GOA CM MR.PROPERTY SAWANT: FROM RAGS TO RICHES
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant better known as Mr. Property Sawant within his own BJP cadres alike Manohar Parrikar is promising anything and everything to hold on to that Chief Minister’s Chair. Pramod Sawant’s Independence Day assurance of a corruption free administration is laughable. He must have meant Zero action against corruption. Having quickly risen from […]
POLITICIAN’S ENDLESS GREED HAS DRIVEN GOA TO THE EDGE
I recall childhood memories of incessant rains in Goa during our school days when it poured non-stop for even 8 to 10 days. But there was never ever such flooding all over like we witnessed recently. The nature’s fury that the State faced has been predicted for years by environmental scientists Dr Nandkumar Kamat and […]
WHAT A U-TURN BY CHIEF MINISTER PRAMOD SAWANT
It is very disgraceful that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has decided to handsomely reward Panaji MLA and chronic party hopper Babush Monseratte by re-appointing him as the Chairman of the very lucrative Greater Panjim Planning and Development Authority (GPPDA) for joining the BJP. In May this year the very same Chief Minister Pramod Sawant during […]
REMEMBERING GOA’S FIRST CHIEF MINISTER DAYANAND BANDODKAR
Let us today pay our tributes to Goa’s very first Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar on his death anniversary. Though Dayanand Bandodkar may have initially been for merging Goa with Maharashtra, he respected the people’s verdict and later toiled with a vision and passion towards the development of Goa. Unlike many of today’s politicians who are self-centered, he relentlessly raised and […]
PRAMOD SAWANT’S PILE UP OF ASSURANCES
The just concluded lacklustre 20 day session of the Goa Legislative Assembly witnessed Chief Minister Pramod Sawant delivering a mountain of assurances to all and sundry. Many of the promises now made by Pramod Sawant are a repeat of assurances by his predecessor Manohar Parrikar since 2012. That Pramod Sawant must have lost count of […]
MOVE THE FLAG HOISTING FUNCTIONS TO THE SECRETARIAT AT PORVORIM
Despite the Goa Government Secretariat having moved to Porvorim, the State flag hoisting functions continue at the Old Secretariat in Panaji. In public interest, the Goa Government should hold the Independence Day flag-hoisting function at the Secretariat in Porvorim instead of inconveniencing the public by holding it opposite the busy Old Secretariat at Panaji. On […]

The manner in which Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has utterly mishandled the crucial issue of our Taxi drivers and the other burning concern of the Goa Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) has only exposed the administrative and political utter immaturity of Pramod Sawant who Manohar Parrikar failingly chose as his heir apparent. Pramod Sawant being […]
THE GARBAGE TREATMENT PLANT AT BAINGUINIM MUST BE A REALITY SOON
As the long overdue garbage treatment plant coming up at Bainguinim will cater to the entire Tiswadi Taluka, all the five MLAs of Tiswadi should stop truant and whole heartedly support the plant despite their intrinsic links with the land mafia who are deviously opposing this much needed facility. Over the years successive governments have […]
GOA’S LONGEST SERVING MLA PRATAPSINGH RANE IS NOW OFF HIS ROCKERS
It is so very outrageous that Goa’s longest serving MLA Pratapsingh Raoji Rane has had the rank audacity in now demanding that all the MLAs should be allotted a housing plot at Porvorim so that they could reach in time to participate in the proceedings of the Goa Legislative Assembly.This is a cheap lame excuse […]
