THE STRANGE STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT TERMINATION Having unsuccessfully sometime back managed to convince the High Court in Goa to book the goverment for the CFL street light "fiasco" (avoing word scam) procured for all Goa which were all badly failing,we now have a bigger fiasco of an all India contractor Essel(according to the Power Minister) given a ten year contract to fix and maintain the street lights! Whilst the Goa government is reportedly forced to borrow around Rs 200 crores every month to pay salaries and maintain other expenses, the contract is being foreclosed as unsatisfactory on payment of Rs 116 crore! I was about to ask where is this money coming from when It is reported that some Panchayats have objected to consumers being then charged 5 pisae extra per unit! With stagflation increasing and prices of all essential commodities the highest ever and still shooting up, is this government aware with a "Act first Think later" administration, what it is doing to the nation and the common man by taxing him no end?
