The recently hot mixed roads across Panaji and Ribandar have been washed away and left us with the familiar sight of dangerous potholes all over the accident-prone roads. Obviously the tar has flowed into devious pockets. In a State with empty coffers, yet again taxpayer’s money has blatantly gone down the drain. Roads once hot […]

RULE OF LAW HAS BEEN UPHELD
The Political fraud committed by the Goa Government in needlessly postponing the Panchayat elections has been exposed by the High Court. As holding elections on time is the very essence of democracy, the High Court has so very rightly directed this power intoxicated Government to hold these elections within 45days. The cavalier manner that this government […]
WHILE CASINOS CORRODE GOA, OUR MATKA EXTENDS ITS WING TO THE UK
While Casinos became Goa’s leading import swiftly converting the State into India’s Casino gambling capital, our matka gambling has now become Goa’s leading export by extending its evil tentacles of human misery thousands of miles in a big way to the United Kingdom. Will it stop there or will it be the stepping stone to […]
GOA NEEDS GOOD GOVERNANCE
There is a need to ensure that in every government office in our tiny State all the staff from the Peon to the Director is very and extremely punctual in reporting for work. Even in the Secretariat at Porvorim we very sadly see staff merrily walking in past 10.30 if not later. This is impermissible. Heads of […]
BEING GOOD NEIGHBOURS CAN GO A LONG WAY
Besides having good friends, it is all the more vital to be blessed with good and warm hearted neighbours too. By living in a neighbourhood with worthy neighbours, we are privileged. Good neighbours are enormously supportive and make our stay safer and more pleasant. They make a huge difference in the quality of our mutual […]
EVERY DAY MUST BE A FRIENDSHIP DAY
Family being our very own blood is always our best resource and help at hand. Keeping the adage that we can choose our friends but not our family, having good, trustworthy and caring friends in life are also an asset. However, we have to be careful and cautious in selecting them. All through my now […]
ANYSSIA VIEGAS WILL BE MISSED
In the very untimely death of our dear sister Dr Anyssia Viegas, Goa has lost a much needed jewel that departed so early in life. She was a caring person to all and she worked tirelessly to cheer and motivate our handicapped young brothers and sisters. They have lost a Soul mate who was always a […]
MOVE STATE FUNCTIONS TO THE PORVORIM SECRETARIAT
Despite our State Secretariat having moved to Porvorim in the year 2000 the Independence Day State flag hoisting function strangely continues in front of the Old Secretariat at Panaji. In public interest, the Government should hold it at Porvorim instead of inconveniencing the public by holding it at a very congested Panaji. On every Independence […]
GOVERNMENT MUST ENSURE GOOD AND SAFE ROADS
The monsoons are here and with the roads across Goa littered with so many potholes, we are sadly witnessing an increasing number of fatal road accidents which is a matter of concern. The thrust of the government should be in urgently tackling the causes of the increasing number of road accidents. Poor road engineering is a cause […]
GARBAGE TREATMENT PLANT AT BAINGUINIM IS A TOP PRIORITY
Over the years successive governments have miserably abdicated in their bounden duty to address the issue of garbage disposal while it has today reached a point of crisis with people dumping their waste all over, even throwing it brazenly in our rivers and lakes. We can no longer procrastinate on this serious matter. Setting up of […]
