It beggars belief that the Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar has expressed concern that his constituency is full of ‘Bikaris’ (beggars) while offering no practical solutions to help. An admission of such poverty is a reflection of his own Government’s failures and its tragic consequences for the suffering public while those in power continue to milk […]

GOA HEADING FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER
Given the current grim state of the basic infrastructure in Goa, it would be prudent for the Government not to allow the construction of any further residential complexes. Lack of proper planning with the mushrooming of environmentally incompatible new constructions all over without the much needed infrastructure has landed Goa in chaos. With political blessings, the real estate […]
RAJ BHAVANS CANNOT BE A HAVEN FOR RETIRED POLITICIANS
Now with a procedure in place to select the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners, it may be expedient that the nation reflects on and debates on the manner in which Governors are appointed and whether we need ornamental puppet Governors who needlessly burden the taxpayer. Constitutionally the Governor possesses executive, legislative, financial and judicial […]
THANKS TO BJP’S FOUL PLOY RAHUL GANDHI IS NOW BETTER PLACED
Quo vadis our beloved India? One is incensed with the developments and the entire manner in which a Court in Narendra Modi’s Gujarat conducted the case convicting Rahul Gandhi of defamation and the swift manner in which he was disqualified as a Member of Parliament by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. Could the Speaker of our […]

The roads, […]
ATAL SETU IS A MANMADE MONUMENTAL DISASTER
The Atal Setu across the River Mandovi was hurriedly inaugurated on 5th February 2019 amidst great fanfare and projected to be Goa’s wonder but soon headed to be a symbol for Government sponsored disasters. When the foundation stone was laid in 2014 for this over 600 crore bridge, we were promised that it would last over […]
PANJIM-RIBANDAR CAUSEWAY IN A DESPICABLE STATE
Due to the never ending greed of those currently in Power, Goa’s capital city Panjim has been driven to the brink of collapse. With no road remaining to be dug, with just a passing shower the entire city would be sinking in grief. A further concern is that on account of rank negligence by the […]
OUR SANJEEV DEPARTED SO SUDDENLY
In the sudden death of our outstanding Sanjeev Verenkar, we have lost a journalist of high repute, who above all was a marvelous human. Having known Sanjeev for many decades right from our student days, he always was a simple and affable Soul but always outspoken. Always a strong, caring, kind hearted person to the […]
