IFFI makes CM Hero No. 1
With the IFFI deadline ticking closer, it's a mad rush
to fix the infrastructure in Goa. The festival has
given Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar a perfect
opportunity to dress up the Capital, which he
represents in the Assembly. With Rs 150 crore
sanctioned for the facelift, Panaji will never be the
same again.
Kala Academy, the cradle of Goan culture, has got a
new look, together with the Old Goa Medical Complex.
Next to these structures, four multiplexes with
ultra-modern facilities are nearing completion. The
promenade, running from Patto to Donapaula along the
Mandovi river, is being revived as the jewel in the
crown for Panaji. Also, gutters are being cleaned,
lakes dredged, all old heritage buildings are getting
a facelift and traffic islands and landscapes are
being beautified.
This has also given the Opposition Congress a chance
to wag their tongues over the neglect of mofussil
areas, which do not even have such basic facilities as
power and water. But residents feel the festival, in
the long run, would boost the tourism industry of the
state. (SAFMA)
