Dear Stephen,
It was nice meeting you yesterday at the AAP meet.
Alina Saldanha has to graduate to give orders in lots of other subjects
too, including to start the investigative process to determine what 'poison'
killed her husband to eliminate him from the ANTI MOPA scene and Mining in
the forest buffer zone/s. The widow of Arafat today says that her husband
was poisoned with 'polonium', nine years after his murder.
Cheers

Subject: [Goanet] GOA STATE BIODIVERSITY BOARD CHAIRPERSON ACTS RUDE FORROMI
KONKANI SCRIPT
Ref: No. 7/17/2013-14/GSDB/meet/007/232 dt. 21 Oct. 2013
LITERATURE ON BIODIVERSITY ACT TO BE PUBLISHED IN DEVNAGRI SCRIPT
AND NOT IN ROMAN SCRIPT: ORDERS ALINA SALDANHA
It is understood that the meeting was held on 20th Sept, 2013 at the
Dept. of Science and Technology, at Saligao under the Chairperson Mrs
Alina Saldanha, Hon. Minister of Environment and Forest, Govt of Goa.
This was the XVIII GSDB meeting, on which Translation of Biological
Diversity Act, 2002 and Biological Diversity Rules-2004, was accepted
to be translated into Devnagri Konkani from its English text. It is
strange that the translation of the above material into Romi script
was not considered at the above meeting. Why the Chairman disallowed
the printing over 100 pages into Romi script is a matter of grave
concern. This way thousand of rupees will be siphoned off in the
printing of these literature in Devnagri Konkani, which some may read
but majority of Goans would read the text in Marathi and the minority
community which consist to 30% of Goa i.e. mainly in Salcete, Bardez
and Tiswadi Taluka would be unable to take benefits of Diversity Act
and Rules flowing out through the activities of the GSDB as
information to them in Romi Konkani script will be denied.
I would wish all the protagonists of Romi Konkani script to challenge
the Chairperson of GSDB as to why she (Alina Saldanha) has refused to
serve the interest of the minority community by suppressing
information to the down trodden and poor Goans of the OBC community
who are familiar only in Roman Konkani.
This discrimination of Alina against the minority should be addressed
to the Chairman of National Biodiversity Board, India by all right
thinking Goans.
Is Alina digging her own political grave by her discriminatory
attitude against the poor minority?
