(Sujay Gupta, Editor, GT) CORRIDORS OF POWER GET RURAL TOUCH: Goa's corridors of power become operative from today at Porvorim now that the government secretariat has been shifted to this part of Penha-de-Franca village panchayat, thereby denying Panaji the centuries-old status of the capital city.
