*The editor, Kindly permit me to express my frustration and utter disgust on the issue of residency certificate issued to the so called Manyata "Dutt". Being a son of the soil, born, bred in Goa I find it difficult to get my papers may be just any paper from any government department, but Manyata could get it just with a click. I hope readers will agree with me on this. My hats of to the talathi or to the Government official who assisted in getting these Wild Birds settled in life. My Question to those very officials is how could you do it so fast? How much did Mr Dutt pay you to move his file? Its unfortunate and its a statement I can and will challenge anyone if they can tell me that these talathis, secretaries of the panchayats or Municipalities are not corrupt.How many times have we had to knock on these doors of these talathis just to get a simple paper and yet to no avail? I hope the readers and the press in particular will highlight this miserable plight and the scrupulous ways of our officials. I hope the press keeps the pressure on this case till we get the real truth and the culprits are booked. I hope money does not play its wicked role in this game just the way it did when guns without licences were found with the same very people.
