======================
NT Network - Panaji
The second meeting of the state-level committee for NRIs of Goan origin was
held recently at the Secretariat, Porvorim.
Senior officials of the central and state government participated in the
meeting.
Commissioner for NRI Affairs, Mr Eduardo Faleiro presided over the meeting. The
committee deliberated on
several matters relating to Goan expatriates and concerning land disputes,
trespass into property, fraudulent
transactions etc.
The committee decided that all awardees of the Community Service Leadership
awards will hence forth be ex-officio
members of the committee.
They will be entitled to participate in the meeting of the committee whenever
in Goa and when abroad they may send
their suggestions which will be considered by the committee.
The committee expressed concern at the slow progress of cases filed against
recruiting agents who have duped various
people for lakhs of rupees with the promise of providing them with jobs abroad.
About 20 such cases have been registered
in various police stations in Goa.
The Protector General of Emigrants, Government of India, had urged last year
that Police Department of Goa
take necessary action under the Emigration Act, 1982 but the progress continues
to be slow.
