To Goanet -
One of our hallowed traditions, the pre-monsoon Purumetachem fest has run into trouble this year as the CCP has asked our traditional Goan vendors to get lost. The CCP, however, will continue to roll out the red carpet to the foothpath-encroaching, hafta-paying ghati panwallahs, bhelpuriwallahs, sugarcane juicewallahs etc. If you are a ghati, welcome to Panjim. But a Niz Goenkar? Tough luck. r
