THE GREAT KONKAN RAILWAY TIP-OFF: There is one characteristic that the KRC has consistently displayed throughout its 14-year-history. It has always shown that construction, operation and maintenance of the Railways was never its forte.

When reputed and experienced chartered engineers like Urban Lobo and Anthony Remedios called the proposed railway a nightmare, the KRC and the media insisted on calling it a dream.

[Goanet]Case against city lawyer dismissed
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## CASE AGAINST CITY LAWYER DISMISSED The Judicial Magistrate First Class, (JMFC) Panaji has dismissed the case filed by the Old Goa Police against Adv. Aires Rodrigues regarding an alleged trespass by him into a flat of a Norwegian national Mr. Ivar Fjeld at Milroc Complex, Ribandar. Adv. Rodrigues had stated that he had merely accompanied the police team led by PI Gurudas Gawade as they had asked him to show them Mr Fjeld's flat. In his order Judge Shinde has stated that that the conduct of Adv. Rodrigues shows that he had no criminal intention of breaking the public peace and committing any offence. The Judge has further stated that there was no whisper in the complaint or in the statement of the witnesses that Adv. Rodrigues had given any threat to Mr. Fjeld and that mere entry into Mr. Fjeld's flat by Adv. Rodrigues does not constitute an offence of house trespass. The JMFC P.M.Shinde has discharged Adv. Rodrigues of all the charges framed against him as there was no prima facie evidence to proceed with the matter and that the charges leveled were with insufficient materials. Meanwhile Adv. Aires Rodrigues has regretted that the Old Goa police succumbed to high-handed political pressures in registering a false and very fabricated case him. Adv. Rodrigues further stated that he has instructed his lawyer to file proceedings for damages against the Government of Goa to the tune of Rs 50 lakhs, and that he would donate all these proceeds to the NGO's doing the relief work for the displaced people of the Baina demolition. * * *

Certainly, it's not the name of a path in Panaji, because that high street - exclusive to the greed of the rich man on the fast lane - has little to do today with the ideas enshrined in 18 June. Like other sacred days - 19 December (Liberation Day), 16 January (Opinion Poll Day), 4 February (Official Language Day) and 30 May (Statehood Day) - the day 18 June is closely associated with the sacrifice of the shaheeds who sang Vande Mataram on the gallows; the struggle for justice; the dream of freedom, and above all democracy and peace. But every year, we need to have a closer look at what these words mean and how they relate to our lives.

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## REHABILITATION OF SEX WORKERS: RIBANDARITES MEET CM A delegation of Ribandar residents led by social activist Adv. Aires Rodrigues today called on Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and submitted a memorandum registering their strong protest against the Goa Government's decision to rehabilitate the Baina-based sex workers at Ribandar in the old Bal Niketan complex on Kadamba Road. The delegation, which was also accompanied by local MLA Mrs. Victoria Fernandes and Municipal Corporator Mr. Domingos Pinto, requested the Chief Minister to ensure that this former Bal Niketan premises being very close to the football ground is made a Community cum Recreation Centre for the benefit of Ribandar and neighboring Sao Pedro and Chimbel residents. The residents told the Chief Minister that they were surprised that premises which the people had sought as a community and recreation centre for the residents was sought to be converted into a hostel for the Baina sex workers and that the residents of Ribandar would have to pay a heavy price for this high-handed decision of the government and further expressed deep anger that the government did not care to take the local MLA, Corporator and the people of Ribandar into confidence in this matter. The delegation told the Chief Minister that the government could not fool the people by saying that the rehabilitation of the sex workers to Ribandar was a temporary arrangement, and made it very clear to the Chief Minister that the government's decision would be opposed tooth and nail, and that the Government would be solely responsible for any situation arising out of the agitation the residents would be forced to launch. The delegation told the Chief Minister that the residents of Ribandar were very disturbed and outraged that the peace of tranquility of the area would be lost by the Government's current move which will only aggravate the resident's woes who are already concerned about the increasing crime on the Kadamba Plateau. Meanwhile, Adv. Rodrigues has strongly denounced the statement of Goa BJP President Mr. Rajendra Arlekar welcoming and expressing happiness over Goa Government's decision to move the Baina sex workers to Ribandar. Adv. Rodrigues wondered as to how the inmates of the red light area, who were a taboo in Baina and bad for the residents of that locality, would be any good for Ribandar, and warned that the government would not be allowed to create another Baina at Ribandar. He has drawn the attention Mr. Arlekar that the people of Ribandar were opposed to the Baina sex workers being rehabilitated at Ribandar for the very reason they are sought to be removed from Baina. Stating that the authorities were misleading the people by saying that the decision of the government was as per a high Court directive Adv. Rodrigues has clarified that no order of the High Court says to rehabilitate the sex workers at Ribandar and that the government amongst other sites could consider using the old Commerce College building at Altinho that has been lying vacant for so many years. * * *

Aires Rodrigues today called on Chief Secretary D.S. Negi and submitted a memorandum strongly opposing the irrational and high-handed decision of the Goa Government to rehabilitate the Baina-based sex workers at Ribandar in the vacant building formerly used as Bal Niketan. The delegation, which was accompanied by local MLA Mrs. Victoria Fernandes, told the Chief Secretary that this building which is very close to the existing football ground had been demanded by Ribandarites as a Community cum Recreation center and that the residents would not allow the sex workers to be moved there even on a temporary basis. The delegation told the Chief Secretary that it was not against rehabilitation of sex workers but the decision of the Government to put the sex workers in the midst of a populated and upcoming place like Ribandar is unwarranted and this stand of the local residents to vehemently oppose the Government's decision has been explained to the Goa State Women's Commission, Bailancho Exvott, Bailancho Saad and other women organizations yesterday. The delegation also complained to the Chief Secretary that local residents are already very concerned about the increasing crime on the Kadamba Plateau and that the Government's current move will only aggravate the resident's woes, and sought the intervention of the Chief Secretary to ensure that this former Bal Niketan premises, being very close to the football ground, be converted into a Community cum Recreation Centre for the benefit of Ribandar and neighboring Sao Pedro and Chimbel residents. Meanwhile, Adv. Rodrigues has stated that a meeting of Ribandarites, to be held on June 13th, will finalise a plan of action to vehemently and vociferously oppose the government's decision to move the sex workers to Ribandar. * * *

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## RIBANDAR TO OPPOSE BAINA SEX WORKERS The move by the Government of Goa to rehabilitate the Baina-based sex workers at Ribandar will be strongly opposed by the local residents, who are are already very concerned about the increasing crime on the Kadamba Plateau adjoining Ribandar. The Government's current move will only aggravate the residents' woes, stated Ribandar-based social activist Adv. Aires Rodrigues today. The residents of Ribandar would meet on Sunday, 13th June, to plan the future course of action to oppose the Government decision and to protect the peace and good image of Ribandar. Adv. Rodrigues said that nobody was against rehabilitation of sex workers but the decision of the Government to put the sex workers in the midst of a populated and upcoming place like Ribandar was unwarranted and this stand of the local residents would be explained to the Goa State Women's Commission, Bailancho Exvott, Bailancho Saad and other women organizations. Recalling that the government had earlier tried to set up a garbage dump on Kadamba Plateau, Adv. Rodrigues warned the Government not to take Ribandarites for granted and use Ribandar as a dumping place for Government problems. He added, The government should consider using one of the vacant buildings at Althinho or around the Assembly Complex at Porvorim instead of bringing the sex workers to Ribandar or in the alternative the Government may consider deporting the sex workers to the state of their origin so that they could be rehabilitated by the women's organisations there. Adv. Rodrigues has also stated that Ribandar was chosen as a venue to host the sex workers without consulting the local MLA, and that Mrs. Victoria Fernandes has assured her full support in opposing the Government move to bring the sex workers to Ribandar. * * *

; NDA VOTED OUT OF POWER: Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee yesterday met President APJ Abdul Kalam to hand over his resignation. He will be the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said yesterday.In a stunning electoral verdict, the BJP-led NDA was yesterday voted out of power to pave the way for the return of the Congress Party at the helm of the national affairs after eight years in wilderness. The Congress and its allies such as DMK, MDMK, PMK, TRS and RJD appeared set to capture approximately 225 seats which could mean that the alliance led by it could reach the magic majority of 270 with the help of the left parties, who have done extremely well and may get up to 50 seats. (PTI report in GT) GIRL RAPED: A 21-year-old girl from Raigini, Bandora, was allegedly raped repeatedly for nearly a year. The girl is now pregnant and the boy refuses to marry her.

(NT) CAUTION ON REFORMS: While the stock markets are rejoicing that a stable government has been formed at the center, the political parties that have won should heed the voters and consider the reforms with care. One of the reasons for the anti-incumbency vote was the fact that economic benefits failed to reach the hundreds of millions living in crushing poverty in rural India, where electricity, jobs and clean water are still luxuries. (Edit in Herald) THOU SHALT NOT MOCK THE POOR THE MEEK: When they said India Shining did they care to ask who was shining? Now we have the people's verdict that they did not care. So they have been cast aside. Cornered during the campaign, Advani had admitted, Farmers are not shining. Vajpayee to conceded, Entire India is not shining. So why in the first place did the BJP launch the India Shining media blitz at the cost of taxpayer money, that has cost them so dearly? Our contention is that the BJP bigwigs, who masterminded the image-making exercises, obsessed with technological connectivity, had over the year become disconnected from human reality and believed what their media managers and surveyors told them. (Edit in GT) REBELLION OF THE AVC GAONCARS: On 24 November 1683, Sambhaji captured the fortress of Jua-the island of Santo Estevao.

(GT) EROSION ALONG ANJUNA BEACH: The erosion along Anjuna beach has been documented a length both in the press and by written appeals to the Anjuna Panchayat, the Anjuna Police and to the Chief Minister. The main and primary cause for this erosion is the illegal beach sand extraction that continues to take place. It appears that no one in a position of power is interested in protecting the beach and that Anjuna beach is now considered a dispensable beach. If the villagers of Anjuna are interested in preserving their beach and coast line they must mobilise themselves and stop the people taking sand from the beach. (Time de Mello, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Canada in Herald, Voices from the Internet) GOA NEEDS BOTH DABOLIM AND MOPA: The writing on the wall is that Dabolim and newly conceived Mopa will function as complimentary and supplementary like Santa Cruz and Sahar in Mumbai. May be Mopa, at some point of time will serve the hinterland of Konkan and nearby areas in Karnataka like Belgaum. The government is duty-bound to plan for the next generation. The demand to shift the Indian naval units from Dabolim area outside Goa is not only preposterous but also irresponsible. We need today an integrated area development not necessarily based on political or revenue boundaries, but a strategic approach to remove a lopsided development with multiplier economic benefit to a particular region. The 21st century is capped with connectivity, internet, e-mail and mobility and has reduced the distances.

: This year, Easter (April 11) falls two weeks before polling day (April 26) for the two Lok Sabha seats in Goa. So politicians should be extra careful. And that is exactly what BJP general secretary Venkaiah Naidu did not do when he attacked the statement issued by the Sub-Committee of the Diocesan Service Centre for Social Action. This two-page leaflet entitled, Help Restore Democratic Rights to the Common People comments in general about the India Shining ads and the Feel Good atmosphere, and in particular, about the democratic functioning and the collective responsibility of the government in Goa.Finally, Naidu has done great disservice to Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is making his own sincere efforts, in campaigns like Mission Salcete, to boldly reach out to the minority community in South Goa.

The ocean is a medium where the waters do not divide, they serve to unite. There are no borders or policemen at sea, only Navies. What you see really is a kind of union of interests and the values that we cherish are the same, he commented. (Reuven Proenca)APPLY FOREIGN ORIGIN ISSUE TO ALL: BHANDARE: Former BJP national executive member GY Bhandare yesterday said that if the principle of foreign origin by birth had to be applied, then it should be applied to all those born before 1947 in areas now forming Pakistan, and all those Goans who were born in Goa prior to 1961. Because only after 1947 and 1962 respectively did all these persons become Indian nationals as a result of the Constitutional provisions Bhandare also justified the Congress argument that if the issue of foreign origin by birth had to apply to Sonia, then it should apply to Advani. (GT)MGP IS BATTLING FOR ITS EXISTENCE: The Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, Goas oldest regional party in the State, is today facing a battle for its existence and appears that only a miracle can save it from tottering.

(GT)TALENT TAPPING SWEEPS DIVAR ISLAND: With talent abounding in abundance among students on the Divar island, the parent-Teacher Association of Our Lady of Divar High School has embarked on an ambitious experimental exercise to tap the young talent of the young boys and girls and mould them for a brighter future. The experiment is proving a success, with the 520-odd students agog with excitement, finding themselves in the thick of such a vide variety of enlightening talks and training. Road safety, food and nutrition, health, etc, are some of the things covered by the unique multi-disciplinary summer camp, which is handled by several professionals from the village, ex-students and school PTA, and other volunteers. Whats outstanding is that the camp, which was inaugurated on 5 April (and will last till 18 April) by the secretary of the DSE, is absolutely free for the students. (GT)THE LOWDOWN ON ANJUNA BEACH: Anjuna beach spreads like an artists canvas in all its glory with the dancing waves kissing the shore. The ebbing tides is breath-taking, holding you spell-bound by its winging motion, while giving rise to a slow chorus of Aeolian sounds. You feel as though Neptune, the muse of the ocean, is striding the shoreline, unseen Like Francis Dias said, I pray to the Almighty that no one destroys the ecology of my beloved Anjuna. May not the dark night of environmental degradation descend on this place, for I live on the mesmerizing scent of its flowers; I live among the freshly fallen leaves of the mango trees: I live in the shadows of the hills that bring me a spiritual awakening; and I walk the roads strewn with the fallen petals of yellow roses (Placid Edmunds in GT)THIS BJP LEADER

: The state BJP will formally kickoff its campaign in Vasco on April 6. The dream girl of Bollywood and former Rajya Sabha MP, Hema Malini, will address the meeting opposite the Mormugao Municipal Council building. (NT) MARGAO FIRST DONATES TO NGO: Margao First has donated Rs.1,00,000 to Jan Ugahi Centre for Training and Development, and NGO active in the social field at Margao. Jan Ugahi recently started a day-care centre for street children and shelter for women in distress in Margao. It is conducting classes for children dropping out of school and also provides them with mid-day meals. (GT) MANDREM FAST GROWING AS TOURISM HOTSPOT: Few years back the beach at Mandrem, which did not see any significant number of tourists, has today grown into a hot tourist spot. Some speculated that its popularity may have been overtaken then renowned nearby tourist spot Arambol. The wide belt which extends from Ashvem to Junaswada, the inshore having a small river running adjacent to the beach which is provided with locally made wooden bridges, give it a unique look. (H) LOVER ASSAULTED BY GIRL'S ADOPTIVE FATHER: A man, who had gone to propose to his lover, ended up being assaulted by the girl's kin on April 4 in Margao. The police have registered an offence against one Santan for allegedly assaulting Mr Peter Moraes from Rawanfond and causing serious injuries to him. (NT) JUST 8 BISONS LEFT AT COTIGAO WILDLIFE SANCTUARY: There has been a decrease in the bison population t the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in Canacona taluka and at present only eight of them can be sighted in the precincts of the sanctuary.Records available with the forest authorities show that in 1992 an elephant was sighted in the area. (GT) GIVING IFFI A BAD NAME: Much of the challenges that IFFI is facing today is due to what citizens see as the ham-handed, if not insensitive, manner in which the authorities are going about implementing their mega-plans. Cutting down trees, razing structures and a stadium, spending crores of rupees for a temporary auditorium, reclaiming the river-front in a way that some fear could interfere with the flow of the Mandovi---all this has caused disquiet in Panjim and beyond. This is indeed unfortunate. More so as an IFFI has the potential to be beneficial to Goa. But only so long as it is implemented sensitively and with care in a city which is one of India's smallest and has long been one of the scenic. (Edit in Herald) WHO MAKES GOA STATE NO.1? By a perverse reasoning, the very backwardness of the State compelled many enterprising natives to abandon their beloved Goa and seek their fortunes outside, especially in the Gulf. This process began from the days Salazaar decimated the intellectual life of Goa during 1932-61. It still continues. That explains the grand and empty bungalows dotting the countryside, the high-end cars flashing through village lanes and the enormous NRI deposits in bank branches that litter the Goan moneyscape. For a rather lowly-educated Goan the argument was beguiling. Who and what makes Goa No.1 then, may we ask?

(GT) MANDREM FAST GROWING AS TOURISM HOTSPOT: Few years back the beach at Mandrem, which did not see any significant number of tourists, has today grown into a hot tourist spot. Some speculated that its popularity may have been overtaken then renowned nearby tourist spot Arambol. The wide belt which extends from Ashvem to Junaswada, the inshore having a small river running adjacent to the beach which is provided with locally made wooden bridges, give it a unique look. (H) LOVER ASSAULTED BY GIRL'S ADOPTIVE FATHER: A man, who had gone to propose to his lover, ended up being assaulted by the girl's kin on April 4 in Margao. The police have registered an offence against one Santan for allegedly assaulting Mr Peter Moraes from Rawanfond and causing serious injuries to him. (NT) JUST 8 BISONS LEFT AT COTIGAO WILDLIFE SANCTUARY: There has been a decrease in the bison population t the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in Canacona taluka and at present only eight of them can be sighted in the precincts of the sanctuary.Records available with the forest authorities show that in 1992 an elephant was sighted in the area. (GT) GIVING IFFI A BAD NAME: Much of the challenges that IFFI is facing today is due to what citizens see as the ham-handed, if not insensitive, manner in which the authorities are going about implementing their mega-plans. Cutting down trees, razing structures and a stadium, spending crores of rupees for a temporary auditorium, reclaiming the river-front in a way that some fear could interfere with the flow of the Mandovi---all this has caused disquiet in Panjim and beyond. This is indeed unfortunate. More so as an IFFI has the potential to be beneficial to Goa. But only so long as it is implemented sensitively and with care in a city which is one of India's smallest and has long been one of the scenic. (Edit in Herald) WHO MAKES GOA STATE NO.1? By a perverse reasoning, the very backwardness of the State compelled many enterprising natives to abandon their beloved Goa and seek their fortunes outside, especially in the Gulf. This process began from the days Salazaar decimated the intellectual life of Goa during 1932-61. It still continues. That explains the grand and empty bungalows dotting the countryside, the high-end cars flashing through village lanes and the enormous NRI deposits in bank branches that litter the Goan moneyscape. For a rather lowly-educated Goan the argument was beguiling. Who and what makes Goa No.1 then, may we ask?

[Goanet]EC DECISION TO REPLACE KESHKAMAT HAILED
24 Mar 2004 07:04:13 + (GMT) From: airesrod [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NEWS ITEM FOR GOANET - TKS -AIRES To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EC DECISION TO REPLACE KESHKAMAT HAILED Former student leader Adv Aires Rodrigues has today hailed the Election Commission for directing the Goa Government to immediately replace the current Returning Officer for the North Goa Parliamentary Constituency Mr. S.S. Keshkamat. Rodrigues has stated that this decision of the Election Commission vindicates the commitment of the Election Commission of the need to ensure that the credentials of officers responsible for conducting elections is absolutely above board with only officers without any political party obligations or strings attached incharge of the election process. Adv. Rodrigues has stated it was a matter of shame that Mr. Keshkamat who was due to retire in September 2003 on attaining superanuation was granted a one-year extension at the behest of some senior BJP leaders including current North Goa BJP candidate Mr. Sripad Naik who had very strongly lobbied for Mr. Keshkamat's extension apparently in view of the impending Lok Sabha elections. Rodrigues has stated that to ensure that Mr. Keshkamat does not indirectly interfere with the election process in his capacity as Collector of North Goa, the Goa Government would be well advised to send Mr. Keshkamat on long leave or since Mr. Keshkamat is on extension in service the Government could terminate his services without any notice. x x x ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]DEMAND TO REPLACE KESHKAMAT
EC TO GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THE DEMAND TO REPLACE KESHKAMAT Election Commissioner Mr. B.B. Tandon today (March 23) assured that serious consideration would be given to the demand to replace the current Collector and Returning Officer for the North Goa Parliamentary Constituency Mr. S.S. Keshkamat with a free and fair officer. The assurance was given to a 10-member delegation of concerned citizens led by former student leader Adv. Aires Rodrigues when they met the Election Commissioner at Panaji today. Adv. Rodrigues submitted a memorandum to the Election Commissioner seeking removal of Mr. Keshkamat as free and fair elections could be ensured only if the credentials of officers responsible for conducting elections is absolutely above board. The memorandum complained that Mr. Keshkamat, who was due to retire in September 2003 on attaining superanuation, was granted a one-year extension at the behest of some senior BJP leaders including current North Goa BJP candidate Mr. Sripad Naik, who had very strongly lobbied for Mr. Keshkamat's extension apparently in view of the impending Lok Sabha elections. Rodrigues also told the Election Commissioner that Mr. Keshkamat was bound to be biased in favour of the ruling BJP in gratitude for the extension in service granted to him and Mr. Keshkamat would even go out of the way to favour the Ruling BJP hoping for yet another extension. x x x ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]15 MAR 2004: GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS
Damodar will be celebrated with great pomp on Mach 16. (NT) ONGC ISSUE TO BE PRICED AT RS.750: The government is most likely to price the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation IPO at Rs.750 on the advice of the merchant bankers and mop up around Rs.10,500 crore, according to sources associated with disinvestment process. (GT) PANCHAYATS IN THE NEWS: Taleigao is unusual. Thanks to former minister Somnath Zuwarkar, it was first dragged into the City Corporation of Panaji. Equally abruptly, the incumbent government opted to oblige (BJP minister Atanasio Banush) Monserrate, and make Taleigao a panchayat again. No explanations were given why other areas outside Panjim, with similar conditions and similar demands, could not be treated similarly. The politics of the place, the intense involvement of lobbies and the particular relationships politicians from this area have had with the ruling party, all go to make this an unusual village panchayat. (Edit in Herald) POPULAR SUPPORT NEEDED FOR SUCCESS OF IFFI: IFFI was not the Chief Minister, Mr Parrikar's idea. It was an offer from the government of India and Mr Parrikar accepted it in good faith just as he strongly and successfully lobbied for a centrally funded convention centre and got it sanctioned in the latest central budget. The opposition parties in Goa had no sporting spirit to welcome this decision. Why should culturally creative and talented Goans oppose the IFFI? If there is a fear of cultural pollution then they should first convince the villagers in coastal Bardez to stop patronizing the foreign tourists.
