Dear Goanetters If corruption is born in Goa we the goans are to be blamed and no one else. When one goes to the government offices one finds the staff missing. What do we do ? go again. Sometimes we want the work fast and so pour out notes in his pocket. So many times people without licence drive on the road and when we meet with an accident we pay the other side and finish it off. Sometimes the police is bribed. Don't we use the influence of a minister to get out job done ? Who pays bribe to get the job in the government department ? We have consumers court and we have civil and criminal courts. We just do not want to use those. I once bought a IFB machine. Just before the warranty date the timer was not working and the mechanic just put a thread to make it work. A fortnight later I was told that the timer needed replacement. I took the company to the consumer's forum as a result I got a very good machine which is still working for the last 8 to 9 years. I have also noted that IFB machines are the best machines in India now. There are so many builders in Goa and so many buildings have come in Goa. 98% of the people buying flats do not care to form a society. The builder is supposed to build only in 40% of area available on ground and leave 60% as empty space. How many of the flat owners care about the vacant space ? The builders after starting the project and when nearly half over will extend and build in the remaining vacant space with the blessing of the municipal Council. I bought a flat from Maizons. We went to the state consumers forum and fought the case for nearly five years and won the case. The builder had to give us nearly 1000 or more sq metre of land , form a society and a convenyance. plus a compensation of 4 lakhs to the members. I have my office in Saldanha Business towers. The builder is taking us for a ride but we have no unity so we cannot fight for our rights. The maintaince deposit that was collected by the; builder is been used by the builder instead of depositing it in the bank. The builder is in foren country and we are the suffers because we do not know to fight for our rights. Why does the government not keen in giving English as medium because we are divided and some say maka kiteac poddlam ? Albert
