IN TODAY'S NEWS: It's world water day today, and citizens are planning a protest later in the morning. Can Goa work to rebuild its once-rich water treasures? In Saligao, a protest over the concretisation of the famed Salmona spring by a builder. On garbage, the message is you can't just turn our villages into waste dumps. Goa's bloated bureaucracy to get further bloated? Parrikar lobbying to create 1030 more jobs for 'trainees'. An Aussie warship, football results, and train/air timings. Also, if you're into fishing, check the tide timings back in Goa. Much more in today's issue.
HELL BREAKS LOOSE AT CHIMBEL. Water supply cut off due to contamination. Residents of Indira Nagar are having a horrible time for the last four days as the Public Works Department authorities have cut off water supply to the area due to contamination of portable water even as World Water Day is being observed on Tuesday.
REAL ESTATE SHARKS FANCY Saligao's Salmona spring. Villagers are up in arms against land development in the scenic spot. The world-famous bird-watching site could end up as a concrete jungle, if the construction work underway in the area is allowed to continue. Villagers have strongly objected to the construction activity, expressing fears that the construction on private land currently being acquired by the tourism department, will create yet another noisy nightclub. A group of angry villagers accused a builder, Arjun Harmalkar, of developing the land. They questioned the panchayat decision to go against a gram sabha (village council) resolution which said that the panchayat should ask the deputy collector to revoke the land conversion 'sanad' given to Harmalkar.

GARBAGE SCHEME hits roadblock in Salcete. Panchayats designated as dumping grounds for the taluka's 30 villages have said no to the scheme and plan to oppose it tooth and nail. Over half of the six designated panchayats have lodged objections. First to oppose the scheme were Loutolim and Cavelossim -- villages known for ancestral homes and starred hotels. (Guilherme Almeida, writing in the Herald)
JOB-TRAINING SCHEME BENEFICIARIES WITHDRAW STIR: The agitation launched by the beneficiaries of the Pre-Employment Training Scheme introduced by the erstwhile Parrikar government was withdrawn today, after former CM Manohar Parrikar announced that the Chief Secretary Ms Kiran Dhingra assured him of absorbing all the 1030 beneficiaries in government service, reports the NT. Obviously, building up a vote-bank, and straining Goa's economy further and bloating the already-severely bloated bureaucracy!
THE AUSSIES ARE HERE: The Australian warship HMAS Anzac came alongside at Mormugao on Monday. The frigate, on a six-month forward deployment, is on a four-day goodwill visit to Goa. (Photo in GT). Citizens have raised concern about the growing number of visits by military ships to Goa, saying this could be a new form of tourism to emerge here in the backdrop of growing tension in the Gulf region.
LONG WAY ON FOR SUNRISE OVER GOAN INDUSTRY: Many feel that the investment climate has adversely changed during the last couple of years. The scenario at most of the industrial estates is one of sheer neglect. "Some areas like Corlim have become jungles and the sheds appear fit places to be turned into cages," says an entrepreneur. (GT)
GOA'S MID-DAY MEALS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN in the the outlying talukas is taking on a strange shape. Alister Miranda reports that the 'meal' was being served at the recess at 11 am, and consisted of a 'sheera' (instead of the expected meal). Gomantak Times.
IFFI expenditure, nothing to hide, says Parrikar. (NT)
