Two new showrooms/office spaces, double height (135 sq m each with bath) for lease in upscale Campal/Miramar beach area, Panaji, Goa. Contact: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is a criminal act of the Electricity Department and the Minister and the staff responsible for this inhuman act should resign or be kicked out immediately. To add insult to the injury, the govt. has decided to compensate the two lives by paying the family a sum of 4 lacs, combined! Shame on you Digamber and Alex Sequeira. In another related incident, a few buffaloes belonging to a lady in Mapusa were electrocuted due to the negligence of this same Department, of course such things happen all the time in Goa . Now the poor lady has lost the only source of her income. But this is Goa- the land of Mafias- and who cares! jr On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 8:40 AM, Naguesh Bhatcar<[email protected]> wrote: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > * G * O * A * N * E * T **** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Two new showrooms/office spaces, double height (135 sq m each with bath) > for lease in upscale Campal/Miramar beach area, Panaji, Goa. > Contact: [email protected] > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > It is quite a surprise that more people don't get electrocuted in Goa, due to > the negligence of > the Electricity Department.
