Hi goanetters,
The real problem here is not about the fact that the 'Birth and Death
Records' have been shifted to the archives at Altinho Panjim; but the fact
that from 5th December 2005, all enquiries and applicants for any such
records have been asked/ directed to phisically go all the way to altinho
Panjim, and apply; even not withstanding the fact that one may not get a
copy of the record , on the same day.
Who is this Idiot/ goathead responsible for all the inconvenience involved
in travelling all the way to Panjim and back, and that too, to altinho, when
the public transport system is itself a shambles. Fine way to minimisethe
problems with the overloaded transport system! Some wisdom indeed is
involved here. Will the applicants be provided with some meal on arrival at
the archives place? and be paid at least for the transport costs of our
unmetered taxis?
If not, then why should the person/ persons involved in this directive not
be be sacked instantly; and then a scheme put in place whereby an applicant
can apply for the birth or death cert. from Madgaon or from his/ her village
or whatever, and get the same within two working days. Why not? it is the
people's right, and they shall have it and NOW! A peoples movement should
start right away and force the authorities to minimise such avoidable
inconveniences to the people of Goa.
