The prevalent deep rooted Corruption is the one single major impediment to Goa’s progress and prosperity. The rise from Rags to Riches by most of our politicians says it all. The evil of corruption stems out from the Panchayat level through the Municipalities cruising to the Zilla Panchayats and topping up at the Secretariat in […]

SPEAKER RAMESH TAWADKAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER
The Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly Ramesh Tawadkar owes an unconditional apology to the people of Goa for his total mismanagement and unlawful partisan handling of Goa’s Legislature Secretariat. On becoming Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar should have severed all his ties with the BJP and at least attempted to be non-partisan and a truly neutral […]
TRAFFIC MAYHEM OUTSIDE GMC AT BAMBOLIM MUST BE RESOLVED
Poor road engineering is a cause for many accidents. The authorities need to act to remedy the situation and save precious lives at such accident prone junctions across the State. A glaring example is the long pending mess at the Goa Medical College (GMC) junction in Bambolim where lack of signages is the major challenge […]
THE NEW ZUARI BRIDGE IS READY BUT AWAITS SANTA CLAUS
A government that is people centric and public oriented should do everything possible to alleviate any hardship faced by its citizens. Currently it is a nightmare for people traveling between North and South Goa due to the serpentine queues of vehicles around Cortalim and Agacaim. Ironically the first phase of the new Zuari Bridge despite […]
ROADSIDE HOARDINGS AND POSTERS ARE A NUISANCE
The authorities are duty bound to stringently enforce every law without fear or favour. But sadly this has not been happening in the State of Goa with the burden cast on our High Court to monitor the enforcement of various laws and regulations. One such issue that the High Court has been monitoring is of […]
NO ROOM FOR LIES AND DECEIT IN COMBATING COVID
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s statement that there will be no COVID curbs till Jan 2 in view of the festive season is preposterous. Is holding of the Sunburn festival and allowing the Casinos besides dance bars to make merry a priority for this government? Can Pramod Sawant fathom the devastation and health hazard that these […]
A VERY UNHOLY START TO THE GOA STATE RESEARCH FOUNDATION
In July this year the Goa Legislative Assembly hurriedly passed the Goa State Research Foundation Bill 2022 after which this Act was notified but not the rules yet as required by law. Despite this Prof. M.K.Janarthanam, a retired professor of Goa University has been appointed as Chairman of this newly established Goa State Research Foundation […]
GOA IN A LIMBO
Instead of focusing on issues concerning the people on a priority, the Goa Government is desperately trying to keep us distracted and entertained with festivals, fests and exhibitions galore while our financially bankrupt State is sinking by the day with the economy in doldrums. The BJP government is infact running an event management wing while […]
THOSE EIGHT DEFECTORS LANGUISHING IN POLITICAL PURGATORY
That those eight Congress MLAs who joined the BJP on 14th September are being repeatedly snubbed by their new Party comes as no surprise. As expected they are being treated as political excreta and will be always considered as strangers in the saffron outfit, having to always endure the step motherly treatment and sheer rebuff. […]
NO LAW SHOULD EVER BE BREACHED
At the last Goa Assembly elections, in a total collapse in the administration, we witnessed a blatant defacement of public property across the State. The defacement of public property began months before even the elections were announced. It was a sheer display of political wealth and absolute arrogance by all political parties making Goa a shoddy defaced […]
