COMMUNAL HARMONY HAS BEEN GOA’S STRENGTH

April 30, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

We need to be alerted to the disturbing, sickening and senseless public discourse over religion that Goa is currently witnessing. Our forefathers must be rolling in their graves witnessing the seeds of disharmony being mischievously sprouted in our peace-loving Goa. If immediate steps are not taken to nip this malady in the bud, we may […]

SOCIAL WELFARE SCHEMES MUST BE APOLITICAL

April 29, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

Government Social Welfare schemes are meant to benefit the truly poor and needy while not being misconstrued as largesse of the political party in power. In 2001 when the Dayanand Social Security Scheme (DSSS) was launched, very high-handedly the application forms were available only with Ministers and ruling MLAs who started distributing them on their […]

BUT FOR THE JUDICIARY, GOA WOULD BE AN ANARCHY

April 28, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

Did it need a rap from the High Court for the authorities to swoop into action against that rampant illegal sand mining? The law enforcement machinery is duty bound to be ever so vigilant and act swiftly against all illegalities. The unbridled hill cutting and filling of low lying fields is also a crime against […]

RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGE OF JUDGES

April 27, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

It is a matter of great concern that 70,154 cases are pending in the Supreme Court with another whopping pile up of 58, 94,060 at the 25 High Courts across the country. This huge backlog is partly compounded by a lot of vacancies in many High Courts. Parliament should promptly contemplate increasing the retirement age of […]

GOVT MUST FOCUS ON PRIORITIES

April 26, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

The government should be very concerned about the many potholed roads still around besides the very erratic water and power supply. Due to lack of vision and prompt corrective measures, the Goan economy is in a muddle bringing no cheer to the small businesses in particular. The common man is struggling with rising prices of […]

DSSS PENSION MUST BE PAID IN TIME

April 25, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

The impoverished beneficiaries of the Dayanand Social Security Scheme have not received their monthly pension since January this year. Amidst these very troubled economic times it must be so distressing for those elderly to be without their Rs 2000 pension for over four months which was supposed to be hiked to 2500 from the 1st […]

GOVERNMENT MUST ALWAYS ACT FOR PUBLIC GOOD

April 24, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

We need to support any good decision taken by the government which is for public good.  But those in Power need to be rapped hard on their knuckles for any and every move orchestrated with vested interests in mind and ulterior motives rather than in the best interests of the people. As part of the […]

INDEPENDENCE OF STATE ELECTION COMMISSION COMPROMISED

April 23, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

It is surprising that Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho had the audacity to announce that elections to Goa Panchayats will be held on June 4th while the schedule of those elections is the sole prerogative of the State Election Commission (SEC). In a democracy free and fair elections are fundamental. Goa’s SEC conducts the election to […]

GOA CM MUST UNIFY PEOPLE NOT DIVIDE THEM

April 21, 2022 airesrodrigues Leave a comment

After his dreadful three year term as Chief Minister, nothing much can ever be expected from Pramod Sawant’s second innings. He has already started with horrific statements that smack of communal disharmony with a divide and rule policy. Pramod Sawant should realize that Goa has lived and thrived as a very secular haven. Goans will […]
