Ribandar which comprises of Wards 29 30 of the 30
member Corporation of City of Panaji (CCP) has
always been treated as the poor relation, at the tail
end of any budget.
It is physically clearly detached from the City of

Dear Fellow-netters,
We should be relieved that the alleged Ribandar Church
Molestation Case has slowly, steadily and in a
dignified way been laid to rest.

It presumes that the reason for the cancellation (or is

the irregularities are too revealing.
This could be the case; but when viewed from a distance,

Dear Aires and members,
I think it's clear that most of our members are tired of hearing about the
Ribandar case over and over, especially when there have not been any
significant developments. With that in mind, we're going to partially
close the discussion. If a post is made about a
justice be sought in the court of law, since a case has
already been filed.
