Some months back, Elvis Gomes was transferred out of his job for the dole crime of discharging his duties diligently. Here's a golden opportunity for all those Panjim residents who had useless advice to give me awhile back. Move the Court, organize a morcha, confront the Mayor, do what you have to do (other than offer empty sermons).

Mr Gadkar has been asked to report to the personnel department for further posting. Meanwhile, the Mayor brushing off the news reports that he had kept a file as regards demolition of illegal hutments, in his custody, refusing to give it back to Mr Gadkar, said “Had the Commissioner asked for the file, I would have given it to him.†This incident was also responsible for suspension of a clerk employed with the Corporation, Mr Krishna Naik, who incidentally moved the file from the table of Mr Gadkar to the Mayor. Mr Rodrigues, speaking to ‘The Navhind Times’ said that he had no intention of stopping the demolition of any illegal structure under the jurisdiction of the Corporation, and had wanted to know the details about the illegal hutments, at Tonca, by referring to the file. “In fact, the CCP’s demolition drive against the illegal structures continues, and a CCP team has already left to carry out demolitions at Dona Paula, this morning,†he added. Mr Gadkar, on the other hand, confirming the reports about suspension of the clerk for handing over the file to the CCP chairperson, said that he had already made arrangements for demolishing the illegal hutments, at Tonca, and even requested police protection while carrying out the task. The CCP sources informed that Mr Rodrigues, who was against the demolition of these hutments, kept the file in his custody, thus preventing the demolition operation. The Mayor also refused to send CCP workers on the site of demolition to carry out the task, the sources informed. The sources further maintained that the hutments make up sizable voters. Incidentally, this is not the first instance for the Mayor to have developed differences with his Commissioner; Mr Rodrigues having locked horns with the predecessors of Mr Gadkar. *****
