Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Impotent administration Sanjeev Sardesai, by email *It is with disgust that I saw the atrocious and heinous attack by illegal hutment dwellers on government servants who had gone to carry out their duty at St Inez. It was disgusting to see a novice of a magisterial lady representative speaking on her mobile, least bothered about the municipal officer who was being brutally beaten by mostly non-Goan youth who had encroached on public lands. One aspect seen through electronic media news reports is that these encroachers were given the courage to grab public lands by the CCP councillors themselves. They were being quoted by these affected people as having assured to confirm their right along the St Inez nallah. The media had kept the public well informed with regard to the demolition of these illegal huts. The claim made by the affected people about not being aware of it is totally unbelievable. How can the state administration be trusted when a magistrate prefers talking on the mobile rather than using her discretion to control the agitators. The police should have immediately swung into action when they saw a municipal officer being attacked. Why didn’t they? Nowadays, what is a citizen expected to think when there are more directions given by the courts than actions taken by the elected government? The bells have begun to toll.
