I feel proud about him as I gave him open invitation to take lead in teaching Konkani in schools during the Childrens festival organised by Kazulo Monthly Magazine held on 12th Nov 2006. I happened to be the chief guest of the programme and Bishop was the president. I argued that only if Konkani is taught in the schools of Karnataka then we have the hope for the future of Konkani Language. Bishop replied to my invitations and promised his whole hearted support. Also at the offline stage he discussed with me the hurdles in bringing Konkani in schools yet he promised me that he will try his best. In fact Mangalore is the shining field for Konkani literature and also for its readersship. Konkani in Kannada script is popular not only in Karnataka but also in Maharashtra, major pocket cities of India, gulf, Canada, USA and other major cities of the world.

Addressing a press conference in Margao, Mr Alemao claimed that was getting good response from the people and added that some politicians were harassing his supporters. He warned that Goa would become another Bihar if muscle power activities continue and alleged that the police had become inactive in South Goa. He also alleged that there were several bogus voters in Navelim constituency and demanded that the concerned authorities verify the same. Speaking to 'The Navhind Times' in Curtorim, on the sidelines of the Save Goa Front's Convention, Mr Alemao said that the Save Goa Front will field candidates in 35 constituencies and expressed confidence that electorate of Goa would support the Front. Asked whether the Save Goa Front would have alliance with any other party, Mr Alemao said that there will be no alliance with the BJP and the Congress and the Save Goa Front is capable of getting a majority to form the government on its own. Meanwhile, Mr Alex Reginaldo Lourenco, a ZP member from South Goa was today declared as the candidate of the Save Goa Front from Curtorim constituency. The announcement was made by the front's president, Mr Sidhant Buyao. Mr Lourenco said much of the work that he desired could not be executed due to lack of powers for the Zilla Parishad and alleged that the MLAs were holding back the powers and therefore priorities for the whole constituency could not be met. -- DEV BOREM KORUM.

This worldwide trend is the theme of the two-day Airport Cities - International Gateways to Regional Economic Development conference and exhibition being held from April 25 to 26 at Frankfurt Airport's Sheraton Hotel and Towers.Airport Cities like FRA have long been serving as the economic engine of their regions.** The arrival and departure of people and goods is only one aspect of the dynamic Frankfurt Airport City. Other features include retail, gastronomy, hotels, and offices. Major airports are increasingly developing into independent city centers with commercial parks, conference facilities, as well as educational and cultural offerings for mobile customers.** Airports have also become particularly attractive to the advertising industry as venues for promoting major brands. Optimum links to ground transportation networks - particularly road and rail - are prerequisites for airport cities. Like FRA's successful CargoCity South development area, suitable commercial sites for logistics companies and other service providers are also essential for developing an airport city.. Employing nearly 70,000 people and serving almost 53 million passengers per year, Frankfurt Airport City is an intermodal metropolis on the move. Fraport is a member of the consortium to which Delhi's airport has been handed over. Somehow the perspective provided above is completely lacking in the discussion about Goa's airport(s).
