We shall fall short of congratulating Mickky Pacheco for the generational
shift in managing deaths at home, though:-
1. People who have no means or no faith to have the bodies of their dear
ones preserved at the government managed mortuaries can do so at home,
thanks to Mickky's magnanimous heart.
2. The trouble of going through the crude method of using blocks of ice and
fans and still not deriving the required results will have been eliminated.
3. We look forward to some other magnanimous heart of another minister of
the government to donate to us the mobile ICUs which can be set up at the
ordinary home at will.
4. The day is not far when we can have hope to land a mobile grave to be
stationed at home where the dear body can be exhumed at any time one wants
with no big deal, and finally,
5. Faithful voters can now dream of being immortal with the mummification
done at one's door step .
It is said that the dead take care of themselves. Indeed, they have taken
care of themselves in the past and will do so in the future. But the living
seem to be damned to hell with governance having been buried deep down the
Sonsodo and the Curca graves. Hopefully some enterprising minister of the
government will come up with some bright idea how to exhume it and expose it
so that Goans may pay homage to it, dead rather than living.

Subject: [Goanet] Mobile mortuaries became a reality in Salcete
MARGAO, DEC 12 Mobile mortuaries became a reality in Salcete with the
Mickky
Pacheco Charitable Trust on Saturday commissioning the mortuaries
coinciding
with the birthday of Tourism Minister, Mickky Pacheco. The Trust has
placed
orders for as many as five mobile mortuaries, of which two were
inaugurated
today at Betalbatim. Speaking to newsmen, Pacheco said the Trust thought
of
purchasing five mobile mortuaries in view of the perennial space shortage
at
the Hospicio mortuary. He said the mortuaries will be made available to
the
people in need free of cost and would help to preserve bodies in one's
homes
even for 7-8 days. "Everyday, we find space shortage in the Hospicio
mortuary, putting the people of South Goa to great hardships. Especially,
the people of Salcete used to face the difficulties in situations when the
relatives are working abroad", Pacheco said. Saying that the mobile
mortuaries will help preserving bodies for 7-8 days, he said these
mortuaries can be installed right in one's homes free of cost. Refusing to
go into the cost involved in purchasing the mortuaries, Pacheco said "I am
not bothered about the cost. This is my service to the people". UGDP
leader, Adv Radharao Gracias complimented Pacheco for the noble cause at a
time when the Hospicio mortuary is stinking. He said the government should
take a cue from Pacheco and make available mortuaries everywhere in the
state. "The mobile mortuaries will help those whose relatives are abroad.
The can take the mortuaries and preserve the bodies right at home", he
said,
while asking the government to make these mobile mortuaries everywhere.
