Sanjit back in the saddle Re-appointed CCP commissioner
BY HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, JULY 30 The State government, in an order issued today, has re-appointed Sanjit Rodrigues as Commissioner of the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP).
For Rodrigues, this will be his second stint as Commissioner of the City Corporation after he was relieved from the post last year to handle the Entertainment Society of Goa constituted for the International Film Festival India, Goa 2004.
Mr Rodrigues has been directed to take charge of the CCP posting immediately and has also been directed to continue as CEO
of the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) until further orders.
Rodrigues will take over from the present CCP Commissioner N Suryanarayanana who has been directed to report to the Personnel Department for further orders.
Todays order brings to an end the long feud between the CCP Mayor Ashok Naik and the outgoing Commissioner N Suryanarayanan over a host of issues particularly the recent flooding, pending city works,
For Rodrigues, the CCP Commissioners seat will definitely be a fiery one with the Corporation likely to turn the tables on
Rodrigues for the IFFI in a jiffy works as it is claimed that Rodrigues was a part of the IFFI plans, and planning not only before but also after his transfer to the ESG.
Even the Panjim Municipal garden which is in a pathetic condition today was handed over to the GSIDC during Rodrigues previous stint as Commissioner of the CCP.
The re-appointed Commissioner is likely to face the wrath of the CCP members and citizens of Panjim over the ongoing garbage problems.
Here again, Rodrigues it is
alleged had taken a very lenient stand over the dumping of Mapusa garbage at Curca for nearly two years.
Rodrigues who is likely to take charge as the CCP Commissioner on Monday has before him the mammoth task of finding a solution to the serious problems which has raised a stench not only in Curca but the capital city as well.
The Commissioner will also have to find solutions to the problems faced at the first and second phase of the new market complex, the Mala Lake project and the flooding, the
monsoon debacle at the Campal boulevard and all that meets the eye within his jurisdiction.
During this time, elections to the CCP are also in the offing and expected to take place before October 1.
Meanwhile, the Mayor of the Corporation of City of Panaji, Ashok Naik has decided to resume work on Monday and expressed delight over the governments order reappointing Sanjit Rodrigues as the Commissioner of the CCP.
It may be recalled that the Mayor had proceeded on long leave last week in Disgust with the outgoing commissioner, N Suryananan, determined not to return until the latter was transferred.
Naik speaking to Herald today evening said that the come-back of Rodrigues would help the Corporation work out solutions to various problems. He said that the first and major problem that would be looked into on
Monday would be to find a solution on the garbage problem. The city and its citizens have been suffering and we will find a solution shortly, said the mayor.
The mayor also added that Rodrigues will get all the support from the Corporation and its members.

FROM MY BALCAO By Ervell E Menezes While Panjim was wilting under the jaundice epidemic weve had our 10-odd-member delegation undertaking a study tour Down Under (in more ways than one), New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand. What they were studying is anybodys guess, but the team included Panjim Corporation Commissioner Sanjit Rodrigues (who was in the wrong place at the right time) and a host of BJP ministers. Babu Kavlekar was the only Congressman in the delegation and Goa State Industrial Development Corporation director Tulio DSouza, who is also the son-in-law of former Chief Minister and one-man National Congress Party member Dr Wilfred DSouza. This is how Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar keeps the Opposition happy by throwing a few crumbs . Dr Willy got his government automobile (without red lights, it seems) and may be the son-in-law is also nursing political ambitions which means that the NCP could become a two-member party if they dont merge with the BJP. After all, who gave an entry to the BJP in Goa if not Dr Willy and Francisco Sardinha? So what does the Panjim Corporation Commissioner Sanjit Rodrigues do on his return from his holiday/study tour? After all, hes the right-hand man of Mr Parrikar? So, institute a witch-hunt. They start inspecting the cleanliness (or the lack of it) conditions in the hotels. How the workers live in filthy conditions and all that. But these guidelines were already there, only like so many things in this Best State in India, they were not implemented. --------------------- Demolition Man Cometh by Ethel da Costa
