School Bal Rath buses also seen. The 925 capacity autitoirum was full to the capcity. I am sure, inside, there were 925+300+ occupying the corridoors etc. In the end, only Laadlis and their mothers allowed in , fathers, husbands etc (inlcuding JoeGoaUk) made to stay out to watch big but silent screen (no sound). No one knows who provided or arranged the Screen not even the Police,Security Personnel, KA Security, Organisers/Desk volunteers etc. People were shouting no sound no sound.. some even informed to Mapusa Minister Francis who was just passing by Anybody could plant a smilar set top boxes containing explossive or bombs. Security breach here. There were loads of Police forces though. Looks like Prudent TV provided the Silent screen but even they denied it by keeping silent when asked two of their personnel with camera etc including Lady news reader who were standing by the equipments. Around 200 spotted who were left out to watch the silent screen Bufet type catering also arranged at two places - see pics Organisers did not handle it very well, they knew the capacity of the hall.. Where all the busload of people going to seat? As most Laadlis were from the far north, they could even arranged the event closer to them or they could do in at open-air hall with covered roof (due to rains) which has a capacity of around 2000. Congratulations to all Laadli Laxmis Hope Laadla Laxman's turn comes soon Some pics here Long Qs etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943120872/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943123738/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943127078/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943136426/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943142212/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943144856/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943166884/sizes/c/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943174588/sizes/c/in/photostream/ goa police Laadlis http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943182192/sizes/c/in/photostream/ Buses for laadlis and their family http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943186098/sizes/c/in/photostream/ More pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943172162/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943169378/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943179434/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943137928/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943126154/in/photostream/ Gates closed http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943176994/in/photostream/ Catering http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943129500/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943134600/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943131918/in/photostream/ Half page large Ad in all dailies http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943377768/sizes/l/in/photostream/ [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
