It should be a matter of grave concern that despite almost a fortnight of lockdown, we are over the last 15 days having an average of over 1000 COVID cases daily while around 35 persons have been dying every day. These figures are high for a very small State like Goa. Yes, we need to […]

GOA ON A VERY DEEP SLIDE
Today is Goa Statehood day but there is nothing to celebrate about. Goans now realize the trap they got into by craving for statehood. An illusion gone awfully sour. With statehood the common man has lost but only the politicians have become crorepatis. As a Union territory, we were ably managed with 28 MLAs and […]
CM SHOULD NOT ALLOW A NEEDLESS AYUSH CENTER AT THE OLD RIBANDAR HOSPITAL
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant in public interest should not allow an Ayush Center to be set up at our Old Ribandar Hospital and should earmark the entire premises for the setting up of a full fledged and well equipped Community Health Center for the benefit of the public. The Ayush Center cannot be permitted on […]
SLAVERY BY BABUSH MONSERRATE MUST END
It has been shockingly revealed that when Chief Minister Pramod Sawant visited the Old Ribandar Hospital yesterday, the three CCP Ribandar Councillors were not allowed to be actively part of the inspection team. They were just made to stand and languish outside along with Mayor Rohit Monserrate and Babush Monserrate’s local henchman and Man Friday […]
GOA GOVT IN ICU
Instead of admitting that he has failed on all fronts and gracefully hanging his boots, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has decided as a desperate damage control move to engage into a Public Relations exercise to deal with the adverse public opinion that his government finds itself enveloped in due to the utter failure on policy […]
THE HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE MUST BE CARED FOR
In this ongoing devastating spiraling pandemic it is also so awful and very disheartening to see so many homeless persons helplessly sleeping on the streets and pavements around Goa. Their problems only further aggravated in the recent cyclone Tauktae with more suffering in store during the approaching monsoons. Would the government consider setting up night […]
GOA GOVT ONLY FURTHER EXPOSED IN TARUN TEJPAL CASE
In the Tarun Tejpal case, it would be for the first time in the history of Goa’s Judiciary that the Government has in less than a week so swiftly filed an appeal before the High Court. The Sessions Court judgment acquitting Tarun Tejpal having been pronounced on 19th May and running in a whopping […]
CM PRAMOD SAWANT AND MLA BABUSH MONSERRATE HAVE RENEGED ON THEIR PROMISE TO SET UP A RIBANDAR HEALTH CENTER
It is very unfortunate and highly deplorable that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has made a U-turn and now directed that the Old Ribandar Hospital premises be given to the Ayush Ministry. In October last year he had assured us that medical facilities would be restored there with the setting up of a Health Centre. On […]
STAGE MANAGED VINDICTIVE HUNT FOR TARUN TEJPAL THAT FAILED
In a major setback and huge embarrassment to the Goa Government, the Founder and former Editor of Tehelka, Tarun Tejpal, has been acquitted by the Sessions Court of all those charges of alleged rape leveled against him in November 2013. It is no secret that the investigation into the Tarun Tejpal case was politically guided […]
My dear friends,
As I turn a year younger today, I have to thank God for having kept me safe during this Pandemic with my busy life. It is also a time to reflect and thank all of you immensely for your prayers and good wishes over the years and to humbly seek your continued blessings as I […]
