[Goanet] fines for waste littering
Fines for waste disposal Some writers get a brain wave for those disposing garbage by imposing fines. Universally it is a known fact that fines are no solutions to this issue. Fines can be justified only when people litter in spite of a system of collection being in place. Where will people living in the housing colonies dispose of the garbage, considering that there is some arrangement within the premises? Village residents may be able to tackle some garbage disposal, but not city dwellers, where open space is a big constraint. The roadsides , fields, water bodies become convenient places of disposal .The gigantic issue of collection and disposal needs to be tackled by the authorities at state, panchayat and municipal level., which are not at all serious, in spite of financial incentives . Residents can be held accountable for separation of garbage at source and pay a fee for the service. There is no consistent system of collection of garbage in operation. People do not deliberately dump garbage with pleasure, but resort to it does as there is no other alternative. There is place for everything, except for garbage treatment. Residents everywhere object to garbage treatment and are up in arms against any move by the State It is not the issue facing Goa, but all over the world there is a definite, regular system of collection of segregated waste on site at a cost .Our Govt legislators have travelled far and wide in search of illusive solution to garbage .Treatment of garbage profitably is the answer a the world does. State must take firm decision on this issue, especially when P.M is proclaiming Swash Bharat as a priority. On many issues Govt. bypasses public opinion, but only on garbage it appears its drags its feet and throws up arms in utter helplessness The citizens at best can co operate by paying the fees for such necessary services, though some may do it grudgingly for some time Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
[Goanet] Gas subsidy
CookingGas subsidy It is disappointing that subsidy on gas for consumers are taking u turn once agCain. Enough trouble and heartburns have caused the users by direct transfer into the saving accounts. There is no undertaking as to when the subsidy will be transferred. The banks mention that subsidy will be made available only when they receive and they have no control whatsoever. What is the way for the consumer to inquiry about no receipt of subsidy in a definite time bound manner. Poor people are put to great inconvenience in paying Rs 900=first and then wait for it indefinitely in hope. It is more disgusting that subsidy will be available only on securing Aadar Card There must be a definite date, by which date the subsidy will be transferred and some deterrence for not complying with it Nelson Lopes Chinchinim

[Goanet] Why can't all Public Benefit Organizations be this diligent
The message below was sent to TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) customers this morning. It is a good example of clear, concise and timely information. Why can't all Public Benefit Organizations (the ones that receive public funding and provide services to the community) be this diligent? Add to this the following initiatives: -- a new official TTC live Twitter feed -- live LCD info Screen in every station (airport style) -- updates every 15 mins on 24-7 on News Radio -- 20 mins updates on NewsTV before and during the rush hours -- a new Smart Phone App connected to GPS information on transmitted from buses on the most heavily used Bus Routes -- .pdf route maps available of your phone or tablet -- accurate scheduling and next-bus information by phone-into-computer with voice-response for individually labeled bus stops (..all stops are now labeled) -- daily service reports on the web http://www.ttc.ca/Customer_Service/Daily_Customer_Service_Report/index.jsp -- regular Town Hall style meetings -- Response to complaints on and via socal media streams (they actually do this) -- extra Info Staff (mostly local student) during large events -- free WiFi roll out on train platforms so you can access the info via your phone Commuters in Toronto have been fighting for more and regular updates for some time. This is an on going battle for most cities. We are starting to see a real culture shift here. The TTC Communication Office is not huge, but its wired into the system well. The stats it collects and the feedback it receives, also provides upper-level management the kind of accurate and timely information it needs to better determine if the system is working, where it is breaking down, and what are better course corrections. AP message follows-- Message from TTC - November 5, 2014 System problems this morning illustrate the scale of our challenge Dear TTC Customers, This morning saw two major system failures on the subway. Here is what happened and here’s what the TTC is doing about it. Line 1 At 6:00 a.m. this morning, the signals at St George Station failed – the cause is still under investigation. We are limited to where we can reverse trains up or down the line when there is a problem. St George Station is one of those stations with cross-over track that allow us to reverse trains. But because the problem this morning was near St George Station itself, the next northern point with cross-over tracks is St Clair West Station; to the south, it’s Union Station. We implemented a shuttle bus service while crews worked to make necessary repairs. Service was restored on Line 1 about 90 minutes later. Line 2 Around 7:00 a.m., the system that detects a train’s presence on the tracks failed near Broadview Station. The system actually detected a train’s presence when there wasn’t one there. As a result, the signal fails safe to red, preventing any train from passing through the area. To overcome this until the problem is fixed, operators “key-by” – a process where the operator approaches the signal at 3-5 kph and observes the train stop on the track go down. If we don’t do this, the train is thrown into emergency stop, compounding the delay. TTC procedure dictates that the train must then operate at less than 15 kph to the next signal to ensure safety. The problem we had this morning resulted in us having to do this procedure on three consecutive signals (two entering Broadview Station and one leaving) making it incredibly slow across the entire line. The knock-on effect of such a delay, however, is the activation, then, of emergency alarms due to overheating and crowding on trains, as the entire line is affected by trains needing to move slowly through just one area. An emergency alarm can take anywhere from two to 20 minutes to clear, depending on the nature of the emergency. Here’s what we’re doing For two years now, the TTC has been closing portions of Line 1 for “signal upgrade” work. The existing signal system is 60-years-old in many places and should have been replaced 20 years ago. This work, though, takes time, but to replace the entire signal system with a modern, reliable system that is computer-based, and does not rely on fuses and relay switches, is about five years away from completion. Signal replacement for Line 2 is something we must also do and is part of the TTC’s 10-year capital budget program. Renewal of transit infrastructure is critical to keeping the system operating safely and effectively. We thank you for your patience as we continue to make upgrading the system a priority – and to continually improve all aspects of your transit system. ---end--- -- Albert Peres afpe...@3129.ca 416.660.0847 cell
[Goanet] COW MILK - POPE FRANCIS - GOOD GOVERNANCE
Good governance means giving people maximum facilities by charging minimum taxno need to pay any state/municipal tax for people living in Bombay slums……civic amenities, 24 hr water supply, sra flats, etc everything is free under the vote bank scheme……….ancestral houses & lands in native place and free housing in Bombay……..now what will be the priority of the new BJP dominated government in Maharashtra……….to encourage the growth of more slums by rewarding land encroachers and give more FSI, vacant lands, tdrs, etc in the 4500 sq km bombay metropolitan region to builders lobby like the Congress NCP ShivSena have been doing…….…or……..to improve infrastructure industries jobopportunities electricity watersupply in rural & backward districts of Maharashtra ?. Narendra Modis Government can be considered a very good government if it work towards reducing the price of cow milk, buffalo milk, rickshaw fares, bus fares, electricity charges, sugar, foodgrains, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, rice, wheat, coconut, vegetables, poultry, gas, fuel, cng, lpg, petrol, diesel, etc by minimum 25 percent………and maintains peace equality justice harmony.and improves employment opportunities. Pope Francis can be considered a very good Pope if he works towards motivating Archbishops, Bishops, Parish Priests to improve the health wealth housing jobs & security of lay catholics apart from the Clergy taking care of spiritual needs of the laity.there is also a need for Pope/Vatican/Clergy to reduce the length of Sunday mass to a maximum 15 minutes in order to save time of parishioners..and make the eucharistic / communion bread from a mixture of wheat flour & non-alcoholic wineand educate those women who go to the Church wearing short length clothes that the Church is a place of God and in order to maintain the sanctity of the Church the women should go to church wearing full lenght clothes.and to utilize vacant church properties for setting up more graveyards, housing for poor catholics, etc. The Protestant British owned East India company beginning from 18th century allowed people from Gujarat, Maharashtra, etc to settle in the Bombay/Salsette ( www BOMBAYLAND.BLOGSPOT com ) region and the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette proudly adopted the designation EastIndians in honour of the East India Company……The East India Company was dissolved on 1st January, 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act, 1873 passed by the Parliament of United Kingdom, as the Government of India Act had by then rendered the East India Company vestigial, powerless and obsolete. The East India companys functions had been fully absorbed into the official government machinery of British India and east india companys private presidency armies had been nationalized by the British Crown but the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette even today proudly identify themselves as EastIndiansThe Britishers were absolutely right when they noted down in their Gazetteers that the catholic villagers of Bombay/Salsette are ignorant & drunken people………. No ambition to work towards becoming ias ips irs ifs officers doctors engineers architects traders shopkeepers goldsmiths pilots scientists surgeons chartered accountants dentists journalists ministers commissioners collectors reporters entrepreneurs etc …….No ambition to apply for government jobs, bank jobs, police jobs, aviation jobs, railway jobs, shipping jobs, etc ……...No ambition to take part in political social civic activism ……..no ambition to agitate for 5 percent quota in govt jobs, govt housing, govt educational institutes……..no ambition to demand compensation for rice fields ponds wells lakes rivers forestlands saltpanlands that were forcibly acquired in the past by state authorities, municipality, collector, etc…… no ambition to oppose the inclusion of goathans in the 500 sq ft capital value property tax system by BMC..……no ambition to oppose the marking of gaothans as slums in the bmc 20 year development map ……..the only Ambition of the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette is of alcoholism infighting jealousy gossiping.

[Goanet] C.M is moving up
C.M is moving up The story that C.M is moving up is a welcome news, It is honour for Goans that for the first time someone from the our State is being recognized for a distinguished position. It is an admission of his talents that will find an opportunity to flourish at National level and duck like earlier stating health conditions, In fact there has never been concern about his health after working like a horse day in and day out The only trouble with him is that he concentrated all functions in himself and did not encourage a second line of succession .Whether it was his inherent weakness or he believed in his indispensability is a matter of conjecture, which is much talked about. Everyone around him was content to live under his shadow and shelter .Naturally a vacuum is feared. That is not reality, as always someone takes the call Besides C.M has announced that he will not seek a second term and if he takes an u turn it will seen as lack of credibility politicians are known to change their course midway and explain and justify their actions in the best interests of the people they represent C.M may be perfectly comfortable of being a frog in the pond Gujerat has not been orphaned by P.M shifting to Centre, in fact he impact he has created at National and International level might have come as a pleasant surprise to himself and all others watching his meteoric rise to heights of statesmanship .His little known substitute in Gujarat politics has not come in for comparison or denunciation and there appears to be a smooth transition In Goa Mr Shripad Naik had been nursing ambitions to take on the mantle, if called to do so, Nobody can be tested unless cast into fire or thrown into water, But there is no trust between the two, in which C,M might feel displaced from the lime light he is used too, But the position at the centre will throw C.M in lime light, which has not envisaged. It is scaling upwards and one has to live behind in trust, that it is safe to have faith in his successor His opponents might heave a sigh of relief of his imposing personality, but it is a small price to pay to rise to a different level and more than that someone is reposing faith in his abilities, which chance may not repeat again, Gadkari has not taken kindly the cry for his heading Maharashtra politics The contribution of C.M will remain etched in the minds of grateful Goans .Best of luck C.M Nelson Lopes Chinchinim

THIS IS WELL KNOWN FACT AND EVERYDAY SUCH CASES CAN BE SEEN . ALSO I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE FILLING UP THE PETROL OR DIESEL IN BOTTLES OR IN CANS FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE AND ALSO FOR THE BOATS, CASINOS OR GENERATORS FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS AND HIRING ETEC. THIS PRACTICE MUST BE STOPPED BY THE GOVT OF GOA AS IT IS AGAINST THE RULES AND LAWS. HOPE THE HOME MINISTER OF GOA TAKE NOTE OF THIS STATEMENT. IN THIS CONNECTION IT IS REQUESTED THAT ALL PETROL PUMPS OPERATING IN CITY LIMITS MUST BE SHIFTED OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY AREA FOR SAFETY REASONS. ALSO IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY TO HAVE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS NEAR THE PETROL PUMPS. stephen dias d.paula Margao garbage collection: MMC inspector, drivers at loggerheads Some drivers draw bills of 60 litres of diesel daily but only refill 40 litres of diesel into garbage collection vehicles. They later fill the remaining fuel into their own vehicles that they give on rent,” Sanitary inspector Sanitary inspector has marked specific spots for commercial establishments from outside MMC jurisdiction to dump their waste and in return he gets monetary benefits” Drivers By Roque Dias | NT MARGAO: Just three months after the start of the door-to-door garbage collection drive in Margao, drivers of Margao Municipality’s garbage collection vehicles and its sanitary inspector are at loggerheads. While drivers are accusing senior sanitary inspector of allowing hoteliers and other commercial establishments from other areas to dump their waste in Margao for ulterior financial gains, the sanitary inspector is accusing the drivers of looting MMC by pilferage of diesel. According to drivers, the sanitary inspector has marked specific spots for commercial establishments from outside MMC jurisdiction to dump their waste and in return he gets monetary benefits; the sanitary inspector has countered the allegations and accused the drivers of stealing diesel daily. The sanitary inspector said, “Some drivers draw bills of 60 litres of diesel daily but only refill 40 litres of diesel into vehicles. They later fill the remaining fuel into their own vehicles that they give on rent,” adding, “These drivers collect waste from isolated places.” However, according to drivers, the sanitary inspector forces them to collect waste dumped in bins kept at border points and where hoteliers and poultry owners residing outside MMC jurisdiction dump their waste adding such spots are there near KTC, Osia complex etc. The drivers alleged that if they refuse to collect the waste, they are harassed by the sanitary inspector. This has brought administrative lapses in handling the collection and transportation of waste to light. MMC officials have been accused of being soft on taking action against illegal garbage dumped in its jurisdiction.

[Goanet] Fwd: Sporting Clube de Goa clash with Pune in Durand Semi’s
*Sporting Clube de Goa clash with Pune in Durand Semi’s * The battle royal continues as Sporting Clube de Goa take on Pune FC in the second Semi-final of the Durand Cup at Raia Panchayat ground, on Thursday. The kick off time is 3pm and entry is free. Sporting Clube de Goa qualified for the Semi finals after defeating United Sports Club 3-2 and Air India 4-1, which propelled them to the top of group B with 6 points. Pune defeated Churchill Brothers 3-0 and Vasco Sports Club 1-0 to top group D with 6 points and will be looking to continue their good form against Goan opposition. Sporting Goa Coach Oscar Bruzon watched Pune play against Vasco and came back to the training ground with a 12-point program for his players to follow for success, as they look to unravel the chinks in their opponents armour. “You have to be in love with the pass and the breaking move, just as a husband and wife come together to marry,” instructed Oscar during a light practice session on the eve of the big game. Oscar has come up against Pune three times and remains unbeaten against the Red Lizards. Last season in the I-League Sporting Goa defeated Pune 2-0 with Victorino Fernandes and Pratesh Shirodkar scoring to end Pune’s long unbeaten run in the league. In the away leg, Beevan D’Mello scored with a splendid strike for the Flaming Oranje as the teams drew 1-1. “If everybody is dancing the same dance, then we will come out on top,” remarked Oscar, addressing his players after practice. Sporting Goa Captain Boima Karpeh who has netted three goals in the competition so far will be playing against his former club, while Sporting Goa’s former Captain Mathew Gonsalves is set to make an emotional return with Pune, after leaving the Flaming Oranje in the summer after nearly a decade with the Goan club.

[Goanet] Goan Quest-II on Sun. 9th Nov. 2014 at Goa Chitra
Dear Members and friends of Goa Chitra, On the eve of celebrating its 5th anniversary, Goa Chitra launched, Goan Quest 2014-15 on 2nd Nov. 2014, to showcase to its visitors the fast fading Tangible and Intangible Heritage of Goa. This event will be held every Sunday at Goa Chitra, through the season and shall commence from 5:00pm onwards until 10:00pm. The Goan Quest series is supported by the directorate of Art and Culture, Government of Goa. Intangible Cultural Heritage: represents the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artifacts and cultural spaces associated therewith. Goa because of its ancient culture and the European acculturation influence is rich in this intangible cultural heritage distinctive only to this part of the Indian Continent and all efforts are needed to preserve and showcase these special traditions. The curator of the museum Mr. Victor Hugo Gomes believes that by preserving and promoting these facets of Goan identity and promoting tourism on these lines a symbiosis can be created whereby Goan culture is sustained rather than endangered by tourism. With the backing of a strong research and development model, the Goan Quest conceptualized by Mr. Gomes, is a different model of engaging tourists with the heritage of this land without diluting the traditions and losing the identity of our ancestral past. The first Goan Quest held on Sunday, 2nd Nov. 2014, was well received by the Tourism stakeholders and was attended by interested tour companies and hotel representatives who are keen in promoting the unsung aspects of Goa's appeal; its traditions, rituals, oral expressions, distinctive cuisine, music, dance, costumes, and trades of the ethnic communities. After a welcome drink the guests were given colourful folk props and welcomed by a brass band. This was followed by a colourful Shigmo parade through the Goa Chitra property. Along the way the Guest could watch and participate in different live demonstrations of cane weaving, pottery, mat weaving etc and had the opportunity to interact with various artisans of Goa. Different folk dance performances and serenade’ s entertained them as they were taken on a guided tour of the Goa Chitra ethnographic museum and the newly opened Goa Chakra transportation museum. This was followed by snacks and a eleven course authentic Goan buffet as they watched different folk dances from different communities. The evening ended admits fun and dancing to the tune of popular Goan music by solo artists and a live band. “By promoting traditional communities who are the true ambassadors of our culture Goan identity is kept alive rather than be destroyed or diluted” states Mr. Gomes The objective of the Goan Quest-2014-15 is to revive and showcase traditional arts, crafts and folk forms for the benefit of visitors by involving the community members and will be held every Sunday Coming Sunday, 9th November 2014, selected artisans from the various communities will perform traditional dance forms and demonstrate and display their arts, crafts cuisine and music during the event. The visitors will also be given the opportunity to participate in these cultural activities thus empowering both the artist and the art.
