GOOD BYE AMIGO JOSE ALEMAO
Our Ribandar is today very saddened with the death yesterday of our Rachol based friend Jose Lourenso Alemao who was laid to rest today.

WILL SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ARUN MISHRA BE ANOTHER P. SATHASIVAM?
The loyalty of every Judge in our country has to be only to the very sacred Constitution of India. The recent eulogizing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Supreme Court Judge Arun Mishra was totally uncalled for an in utter bad taste. Justice Mishra who is due to retire on 2nd September went well overboard. We […]
NEED OF ZERO TOLERANCE TO FAKE DEGREES

There has to be a very robust mechanism in place to check the authenticity of educational and other certificates submitted by candidates aspiring for government jobs.

GOVERNANCE IN GOA HAS GONE FOR A TOSS

The knee-jerk decisions made by the Government without careful thought, consultation with experts or due process is symptomatic of the further erosion of governance in the state. Good governance has been lacking for […]

IN DEATH OUR WENDELL WAS DISRESPECTED BY THE GOA GOVERNMENT
Our very celebrated late Wendell Rodricks was a proud recipient of the Padmashri Award in 2014. It is the fourth highest Civilian award in our country and yet the Goa Government chose not to Honour our very accomplished Goan with a State funeral. In a rank breach of protocol, it was very sad and so […]
