From time to time, Adv Aires Rodrigues brings to the notice of Panjim
residents the sad state of the town (or is it city?).
But the BJP babujis couldn't care less. They just want to make money.
Dirt and civic chaos have mattered little to the Indians and do words
like 'transparency' and 'accountability' exist in Hindi or Marathi?
It is sad that a Catholic MLA called Monseratte has also got infected by
the breakdown in BJP governance.
As for the cows, they are holy animals to the Hindus (God knows why) and
so they have right of way anywhere they please.
What of the bulls? It will be hard to restrain them as they would be
inclined to follow the cows.
Meanwhile, the three rulers of India (Modi, Shah & Yogi) do as they
please, unfettered by any rules.
So why should lesser officials do better?
Well done, Aires. You are doing your duty as a good citizen.

Subject: [Goanet] PANAJI IS IN THE DUMPS
It is very appalling that the Corporation of City of Panaji (CCP) has
miserably failed to tackle the growing menace of stray cattle moving
around
all over the City. The situation is no better at Ribandar which is part
of
the CCP. The law does not permit cowsheds within city limits but this is
not being complied with. Being the capital city, it should have been the
endeavor of the CCP to ensure utmost cleanliness and hygiene all over.
But
with the stray cattle merrily moving all around and messing up even the
footpaths it is a matter of health concern for the citizens. The Panaji
Market and the Bus stand lie in a despicable state. Even some of the
city’s
recently renovated gardens and parks are in a pathetic condition. The
St Inez and Rua de Ourem creeks continue to be a horrible eyesore with
our
nostrils bearing the brunt of that unbearable stench. The stagnation and
neglect of vital infrastructure, the environment and sustainable
development is all too evident.
Unless there is transparency and accountability in the working of the
CCP
with Zero Tolerance to any scams, Goa’s capital city will languish as it
is. With the CCP elections scheduled for March next year let us hope the
citizens elect young and bright Corporators who are knowledgeable
persons
with integrity and a vision to uplift the city.
Does the Panaji MLA Atanasio Monseratte have to be reminded of his
glossy
22 page Panaji Vision Document that he had released in the run to the
19th May
Panaji by-election last year? Not an iota of that mountain of promises
has
been fulfilled. All that has happened is that he betrayed his voters and
joined the BJP for his own vested interests.
