With the most unfortunate and horrifying custodial death of 84 year old Jesuit Priest Stan Swamy, maybe it is high time to revisit the jail rules. It may be improper to detain people over the age of 80 in jails. Those who have to be kept in detention could be possibly placed under house arrest […]

LAW OF THE JUNGLE CANNOT PREVAIL AT CCP
In total breach of law Babush Monserrate is very high-handedly interfering with and manipulating the day to day functioning of the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP).

Over the years much has been done and achieved but two major tasks remain to be fulfilled. One is to complete my memoirs which I hope to release at my 70th. It will be a factual narration of my […]
