It is not possible to give the total number FF`S who are also in receipt of service pension ( It is public knowledge of Karmali drawing 3 pensions). 1592 FF and 962 FF`s are drawing state and central pensions.Monthly honorarium is Rs.4000 and yearly liability is Rs.7,64,16,000.

Only record of FF of land allotment is Atmaram Pandurang Kantak.10,000sq.mts for agriculture and400 sq.mts for construction in Bhati Village in Sanguem is provided The criteria is land revenue code . Whatever I may means. There is no record of plots allotted Talukawise It is as strange as unbelievable The secrecy regarding FF`s is very clear. There is neither transparency, policy,or guidelines for eligibility, selection and procedure and authority FF`s have been springing up like mushroom year after year. Govt. is not maintaining any records pertaining to FF`S and the answer are there for all to assume the state of affairs. The Govt appears to be unaware of jobs, educsational reservations in professional colleges as the other benefits showered on FF`s The general public was absolutely right on the cry over the benefits to many a undeserving so called FF`s It is very clear that the whole process of enrolling FF`s for benefits is a sham He information is ignored and that affirms our doubts. Incidentally Mr Karmali like Salazar finds no one to replace him as the so called life time President of FF and that speaks volumes for autonomy and dermocracy, which the FF`s appear to have fought Nelson Lopes Chinchinim 9850926276
