[Goanet-news]QUIT OR FACE AGITATION: OFFICERS ON EXTENSION TOLD

2003-09-22 Thread Joel D'Souza
QUIT OR FACE AGITATION: OFFICERS ON EXTENSION TOLD


Government officers on extension of service or contract have been called
upon to voluntarily quit office within fifteen days or face public
agitation. Former student leader Aires Rodrigues stated that peaceful
protest
demonstrations would be organised at the offices and residences of all such
officers who fail to relinquish office.


Adv. Rodrigues further stated that the persistent current practice of the
Goa Government in granting extensions of service to officers attaining the
age of retirement was an injustice to the younger officers and to the
unemployed youth.


Adv. Rodrigues expressed dismay that instead of preparing to enjoy
retirement life, officers with selfish interests in mind shamelessly keep
lobbying with the politicians for extensions in service and that the
Ministers are more than happy to oblige officers who dance to their tunes.


Adv. Rodrigues stated that the Government's exercise in granting extensions
and making contract appointments should be invoked only in highly
exceptional cases when a suitable replacement could not be found for a very
specialised or highly technical post but that none of the extensions granted
were in this category.


Adv. Rodrigues further stated that in fact some of the extensions granted
were to some very corrupt and highly incompetent officers whose only
credentials are that they subscribe to the current government's saffron
ideology.


Adv. Rodrigues stated that a list of all officers granted extensions and
appointed on contract has been compiled and expressed deep anguish that only
people of a particular privileged section of the community had been favoured
through these extensions and contract appointments.


Stating that granting of extensions was a gross abuse of power Adv. Aires
Rodrigues wondered as to why the Government employee associations were
silent now though they had raised a hue and cry when the than Director of
Food and Drugs Administration, Dr Desiderio Costa Frias, was proposed to be
given an extension in December 1991.


Adv. Rodrigues further stated that the granting of extensions defeats the
very principle of lowering the retirement age from 60 to 58 which was
designed to offer promotional avenues to the younger generation and that it
was a matter of shame that officers were trying to cling to their positions
although their time was up.


Lamenting that the Goa Public Service Commission has no independence and was
de-facto not autonomous, Adv. Rodrigues stated that transparency and
credibility in selections by the Goa Public service Commission would have
prevailed only if the Commission was chaired by a person of high calibre,
integrity and having the confidence of the public.


Referring to the appointments made to various posts by the Goa Public
Service Commission, Adv. Rodrigues lamented that all tests and interviews
conducted by the Goa Public Service Commission are a mere eye-wash and that
it is common knowledge by now that the candidate to be appointed is
selected much before the recruitment procedure begins.

CHICKEN MAY DISAPPEAR FROM GADDAS: Chicken and mutton items, soft-drinks

GOLD STOLEN: Gold ornaments and household items worth Rs.29,700 were stolen
from the residence of Vidyadhar Narvekar at Bhomwado-Tuem in Pernem. (H)

CHILD SUCCUMBS TO BURNS: Playing around in the kitchen can sometimes prove
costly. This was realized by the Bolvekar family, in Cortalim, when their
14-month-old infant boy died on Saturday after battling for life for the
last five days. The boy, Chirag, had sustained 32 per cent burn injuries
after hot boiling water fell on his leg and waist when the boy was playing
around in the kitchen with a small ball. The ball landed into the vessel
containing the boiled water, and when the boy tried to retrieve it, the
utensil came down on him. (H)

said that the government has initiated steps to bring the Sanjivani sugar
factory of Goa on the path of progress and asked the sugarcane growers and

Yet some unique and historic temples have been largely ignored and do not

have been announced. It would be the first in the 21st century and also the

and favourable dimension to the exposition because now the pilgrims can
reach Old Goa from every corner of India and beyond. The 2004 exposition has
the capacity to attract a million pilgrims. The government of Goa could use
the exposition as an international attraction for pilgrimage-based heritage
tourism and showcase the state as a perfect model of communal harmony and a
center of eco-spirituality. (Nandkumar Kamat in Glimpses-NT)

 Zarapkar were sworn in. (WE-GT)

MATHANY FOR PROBE INTO SUBDIVISION OF PLOTS: Matanhy Saldanha, MLA
representing Cortalim, in a statement issued in Panjim, has criticised the
panchayats for not following all the guide-lines in respect to the
subdivision of plots. The MLA said that it was time that a thorough
investigation is conducted on the sub-divided plots all over Goa during the
last 5 to 50 years without the permission of the Town and Country Planning
Department, but with the covert support of the sarpanchas, thus denying the
government of the revenue and leading to conflicts among people. (H)

NO BREAKTHROUGH IN TIVIM MURDER CASE: The Mapusa police have failed to
obtain any leads into the brutal murder on Thursday night of 68-year-old
Rukmini alias Kishori Narayan Parsenkar from Canca-Tivim. Ms Parsenkar was
killed by an unknown assailant, who entered her house by removing the
kitchen roof tiles and struck with a heavy hammer on her forehead. (NT)

GOLD CHAIN STOLEN: A gold chain belonging to one Felix Vaz of Corlim was
stolen by some unidentified person on Friday night. The Value of the chain
is estimated at Rs.57,000. Vaz stated that the theft occurred when the thief
managed to steal the bag using a stick and pulled it our from an open window
when the inmates were fast asleep. (WE-GT)

AGNEL CHARITIES, CONTROLNET SIGN MOU: Agnel Charities, Agnel Technical
Education Complex, Verna, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
M/s ControlNet (I) Pvt Ltd. The objectives of the collaboration include
ControlNet providing technical expertise in PCB design to Agnel Charities
and utilize the software and hardware available at Agnel Charities. (H)

NO MEETING SANS PRAYER: Politicians invoking God's blessings for guidance
would sound absurd for many, given the way they conduct themselves. At Colva
panchayat, however, no meeting-either of the panchayat or the gram
Sabha-would start without remembering God. Indeed, it's now an
year-and-a-half since this 9-member body adopted this novel practice, with
consent of the members, how all belong to the Catholic community. (H)

SENSITIVE OR CALLOUS? Every chief minister has attempted in small or large
measure to manage the media. And this has not been very difficult. There
have been always enough people in the media at all levels who have been
willing to crawl when merely asked to bend. In return for favours like
heavily subsidised government quarters, willingness to be indulgent over
loans taken for buying plots, flats in the journalists colony and various
other goodies. Not surprisingly, the Herald is the only newspaper none of
whose accredited correspondents have ever been allotted government quarters,
with one solitary exception. (Edit in Herald)

worrying about spreading awareness about their careful documentation,

GOAN HISTORY: TO EACH HIS OWN: If tourism is one of the major lifelines of
Goan economy, then history is its soul, one can safely say. However, the
soul is distorted to a great extent, over the years, for the convenience of
those who reveal it to others. The Archaeological Survey of India,
Department of Archaeology and Archives, Department of Tourism, hoards of
illiterate and untrained tourist guides and above all, the self-professed
'historians', all of them have their fair share in misinforming on Goa's
heritage and history. The tendency to blindly follow what is available on
coffee-table tourism books and avoid cross-checking of facts have made the
Goan tourist spots and monuments lose the history linked to them and at the
same time, acquire newly derived accounts which are clearly far from the
truth. (Ramnath Raikar in NT)

[Goanet]MARGAO BUSINEESMAN TENDERS UNCONDITIONAL APOLOGY TO HC

2003-08-01 Thread Joel D'Souza
CONTEMPT NOTICE: MARGAO BUSINEESMAN TENDERS
   UNCONDITIONAL APOLOGY TO HC
Margao businessman Mr. Ramdas Naik today tendered an unconditional apology
to the Panaji Bench of the High Court in response to a notice issued to him
last week by Justice F.I Rebello as to why proceedings should not be
initiated against him under the contempt of Court law.


The matter in question is an illegal construction in the verandah of Santa
Almas chapel on station Road at Margao which was earlier demolished on three
occasions by the Margao Municipal Council.


Aggrieved by the inaction of the Municipal authorities to demolish the
illegal structure again, a devotee of Santa Almas Chapel Mr. Armando Dias
represented by Adv. Aires Rodrigues approached the High Court which directed
Mr. Naik to remove the shutter and directed the Municipal Appellate tribunal
to dispose within three months Mr. Naik's appeal against the Margao
Municipal Council's demolition notice within three months.
.
Mr. Naik removed the rolling shutter and replaced it with a thick wooden
door against which the Petitioner Mr. Armando Dias moved the Court again
through a contempt petition but Mr. Naik in his affidavit today stated that
as soon as he received the contempt notice he removed the wooden sheets.


When the matter came up for hearing today Advocate Aires Rodrigues
representing Mr. Armando Dias submitted that the removal of the shutter was
just an eye-wash and that Mr. Naik had inserted a wooden door in clear
contempt of the Court's earlier directive,


The Court adjourned the matter to August 8th to enable the petitioner
Armando Dias to submit further evidence that Mr. Naik was still violating
the court order.


As directed by the High Court the Chief Officer of Margao Municipal Council
also inspected the site and submitted a report today that the rolling
shutter has been removed but the rolling shutter frame is still existing.


Mr. Ramdas Naik is being represented by Adv. Saresh Lotlikar while Adv.
Aires Rodrigues is appearing for the Petitioner.

CO-OP SOCIETIES ON THE SLIDE: Drop in lending rates, poor recover rate,
coupled with better service by the private sector banks, seem to be the main
reason for the urban credit co-operative societies to reach the present
position they are in. What has eroded their credibility is mismanagement of
their finances and also several non-banking financial institutions duping

HARNESSING THE POTENTIAL OF GOA'S YOUTH: Goa is a young state. We have some
of the youngest MLAs and ministers in India. At a relatively young age,
Goans can taste and test power. This shows considerable politicization of
our youth. Goa has a very active sports field in which the young
sportspersons shine. The cultural industry is dominated by many young
talented artistes. In the field of industries and self-employment there are
many success stories of young industrialists and entrepreneurs. The present
chairperson of the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr Nitin
Kuncoliencar, is one of the youngest persons to head such an apex
organisation India. (Nandkumar Kamat in Glimpses-NT)

CHRISTIAN MUSEUM STAND FOR COMMUNAL AMITY: The Museum of Christian Art in
Old Goa stands as a unique example of Hindu-Christian amity with most of the
invaluable and awe-inspiring artifacts chiseled by Hindu artists and

artists had been selling images of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary and other
saints of the Christian faith door-to-door even as early as 1545 AD
demonstrating their ability to move from traditional forms to European art
steeped in Christian traditions. (UNI report in GT)

astronomy in Goa for over two decades, was felicitated by his close friends
