After tirelessly serving our Ribandar Church for seven long years our very dear Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Antonio Lourenco Fernandes today moves on to the Socorro Church.

WE NEED TO EMPOWER OUR YOUTH
The Goa Government as a matter of rule should ensure that there is a total ban on any extensions in service and contract appointments to the retired. Every extension in service or contract appointment given beyond the retirement age is a cruel and grave injustice to the Youth. It is also a severe prejudice to […]
RIBANDAR’S BABA RAMDEV HAS LET US DOWN BY HIJACKING OUR OLD HOSPITAL PREMISES
After having survived from the jaws of death due to the expert allopathic treatment received at Goa Medical College, it is reprehensible on the part of Ayush Minister Shripad Naik, despite being from Ribandar to oppose the much needed medical facilities from being restored by the Goa Government at our famed Old Ribandar Hospital. Shripad […]
WHEN WILL OUR PANAJI BE A SMART CITY?
For Panaji to evolve as a Smart City we need Smart persons with integrity and sound knowledge in planning on board the Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited (IPSCDL) which is the official vehicle steering the projects being planned for the City. It is dismaying that not a single Goan architect or planner has been taken […]
IS PANAJI SO INTELLECTUALLY BANKRUPT?
With an 8th Std Babush Monserrate as MLA, an under-educated Rohit Monserrate as Apprentice Mayor and now with Kabir Makhija besides Kishore Sastry on faked expertise as co-opted Counncillors at the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP), the sagging intelligence quotient on public display does not augur well for Goa’s capital City. Section 9 […]
CM PRAMOD SAWANT NEEDS TO SPEAK HONESTLY AND ACT SENSIBLY
The very frequent transfer of officers is a sign of bad governance. While officials must be moved around every three years we are witnessing officers being shuffled around within months if not weeks while ironically some are glued on the same saddle for years. This administrative circus must stop as these transfers are obviously when […]
EVERY COURT MUST BE A FOUNTAIN OF JUSTICE AND A SHRINE OF PURITY
The essence of a free, fair and absolutely independent Judiciary must flow right from the Supreme Court to every lower Court across the nation. Judges should always be appointed fairly having due regard to their eminent qualifications, experience, competence, capability and probity in public life that they have clearly demonstrated over the years. As long […]
EXPENDITURE INCURRED DURING THIS PANDEMIC MUST BE METICULOUSLY AUDITED
It is expected that there should be Zero Tolerance for any sort of corruption whatsoever at all times but most of all during a pandemic like the one in which we currently find ourselves enveloped in. Disaster Management Funds in particular need to be so judiciously accounted for and very discreetly audited. There should be […]
ATMARAM NADKARNI GIVEN GOA POLICE SECURITY BASED ON A FAKE LETTER
Atmaram Nadkarni ceased to be the Additional Solicitor General of India on June 30th 2020. Earlier in July 2019 the Goa Government had sacked him and his entire team from further appearing for the State before the Supreme Court, National Green Tribunal and the Mhadei Tribunal. On 25th March 2021, a letter purportedly written by […]
