Bullfights are banned in Goa for blind & deaf people- Mickky wants us to believe? When H asked Mikky Pachecho (Animal Husbandry Minister) to explain his presence at the bullfights recently, he says.. I HAVE EYES AND EARS. IF (hear of a ) BULLFIGHT, I TOO JOIN THE CROWED AND WATCH THE BULLSFIGHT. THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT I AM BEHIND THE BULLFIGHT OR THAT IT (is organized with my) BLESSINGS. He says bullfights do not results in cruelty to animals..and that he too owns fighter bulls. (H) JoeSays: What a Animal Husbandry Minister !!!. If he says he owns two fighter bulls, I would take it as three. You guess now which one is the third bull ? ====== Smart card driving license launched: Panaji -For all vehicle drivers -Separate counter opened for smart cards. -Smart Card will be issued within just 20 minutes. -Fees Rs.200 (of which Rs.160 goes to Goa Electronics Ltd). -It is not a multipurpose card but exclusively meant for drivers. -It has a chip having lot of information pertaining to driver, violation MV Act, his offences committed etc -It can be read by the device called Hand Held Terminal. -RTO will carry this HHT which can be access the database of the smart chip. -The card has two zones: Visual Inspection Zone & Machine Inspection Zone. -The MIZ is an embedded computer chip which stores all details about the driver and the data can be updated and stored for reference. -Margao office to start within 30 days -Rest of Goa within 6 months. -Vehicle Registration or RC book will also be issued in the form of a smart card soon.
