NT: First victim in India - 14-yr-old Pune girl dies of swine flu. H: INDIA'S FIRST CASUALTY OF H1N1 VIRUS- Pune school girl dies of swine flu. TOI: First swine flu death in India- Delay in test, Treatment may have killed class IX student from Pune. While extending condolences to the parents and family members of the Pune girl victim, we are apprehensive that Goa may see the worst of the Swine flu in times to come since there has already been the swine-flu-administrative victim declared already. Health Officer Rajendra Tamba, an appointed nodal officer in charge of the swine flu investigations and treatment in Goa has been sacked/transferred to Timbuktu from the precincts of the Panjim city as well as having been served a SHOW CAUSE NOTICE. His cardinal sin has been that he had lost all faith in the government (read health department) to supply him the required basic stuff & medications i.e. syringes etc, even plain ordinary swab cotton to carry-on his work as the nodal officer. It is believed that his when his requests after requests for the basic stuff to perform his allocated duties were rebuffed quoting 'GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY' he lost heart and boldly declared his inability to carry-on in the position and asked to be relieved of the duties. However, he made his stand publicly rather than through the corners within the house. Mr. Tamba's request has been willingly accepted by shunting him to a remote place as well as having been served a show-cause-notice. Dear Mr. Tamba. Wherever you may be posted, go with a relieved heart because the weight of what is being done will have to be borne by the rascals who call themselves the government of Goa. Incidentally, these rascals can increase their own salaries and perks when they want and when they like, but they cannot sanction cotton swabs for the ordinary citizen who may be afflicted with the deadly swine flu. It is our earnest intension to release the phial containing the swine-flu virus into the Goa legislative Assembly on its last day of deliberations so that all the 'swines' who are feeding from the trough that is the Goa Legislative Assembly may suffer the same fate as the poor Pune girl, and just as well. Take heart, WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. floriano lobo Gen Secretary, Goa Su-Raj Party 9890470896
