Births and Deaths records now shifted back to respective taluka levels but..
Situation is worst than what it was at Directorates of Archives at Altinho. It may be reminded that all the Births and Deaths records were shifted to Altinho, Panjim but after the complaints and protests by the public, the same is now restored back to where it was. Other day we went to Vasco to get a Birth Certificate, we were told to come back next day morning as the receipts are issued only during morning before 12 noon. We arrived there at 3pm. Today, we arrived there at 10pm, we got the receipt after a long wait but for the birth certificate, we will have to come back after 10 days only to enquire if it is ready. The simple reason or excuse they give for this type of slow services is 'shortage of Staff'. Before transferring to Altinho, one could get his/her birth certificate same day. Some people there even said, at Altinho, the services were comparatively far better than this one. I also read about similar problems faced by Margao/salcette people. Our CM Digu is from Margao.. Digu kaka, zara deko tere 'aam aadmi' ki hallat.. However, one may get his/her Birth certificate almost instantly for a price. (price=bribe).
