[Goanet] UNPLANNED UNDERGROUND CABLING MADE A DISASTER IN GOA

2015-07-05 Thread Stephen Dias

*Dear Goenkaranum,*

*Everywhere Goa roads are opened up and under repairs  either due
to underground cabling or  ditches, cuts and pot holes due to bad condition
of asphalt and rain. The main reason is due to heavy vehicles plying in
cities which includes trucks carrying sand  cement, supply essential goods
for the market and  JCBs plying  for the construction of illegal high rise
buildings, and importantly mainly due to  underground cabling which is a
disaster for Goa and it will never materialize  for its quality electrical
connection for the state of Goa. Both the Government have failed miserably
and made mockery of this underground work as money is already siphoned into
their pockets on roads repairs. Now, the  responsibility lies mainly on PWD
and Transport Minister Sudin Dhavlikar who is under controversy for his
qualifications discrepancies and cheating the Govt by furnishing false
affidavit during election. What will be the faith of Goa roads in future?
Will any future Chief Minister be able to revive our roads and attend this
misery for damaging roads in Goa? Parsekar must give the answer soon and
tell us in the absence of Dhavlikar who is going to be a GOOD minister of
PWD and Transport non corrupt if he has to face the law for his cheating on
his educational qualification issue?*

*Underground cabling across Goa the only solution to power problems, says
Milind*

Team Herald MARGAO: Power Minister Milind Naik stated that the only way Goa
could get rid of its power problems was if the electricity department was
allowed to lay 11 KV underground cabling across the State. He added that
such a project would cost around Rs 20,000 crore, while the department’s
budget was only Rs 300 crore.

Naik was speaking to the press after inauguration two transformers in
Navelim. Responding to a query about the hike in electricity charges, he
clarified that neither the power ministry nor the electricity department
were responsible. Instead, it was the decision of the Joint Electricity
Regulatory Commission.

He pointed out that it was the first such hike in 12 years, and despite it,
Goa was the only State with such low charges.

He informed that, according to a report from Goa Electronics Limited, the
monthly billing system had been started in 95 per cent of Goa.

Regarding the safety of linesmen, Naik said that an order for safety kits
for the linesman had already been placed. The equipment will arrive within
a month.

On the issue of streetlights, Naik said that in many areas the
responsibility was not on the power department, but other government
departments, including tourism. He further said that the department was
reviewing the issue of handling complaints on the phone. He said his
department had to face several difficulties and occasionally had to attend
to four problems at the same time.

Naik also called for greater coordination and flexibility with the forest
department over trimming of trees.

Regarding problems where underground cabling connections had already been
set up, Naik said that the problem was obviously not with the underground
cabling, but where the power was coming from. The power department is
looking into the issue. Naik added that if one spends time with his
engineers, they would better understand the difficulties faced by the
department.

Meanwhile, Navelim MLA Avertano Furtado said that he would soon be holding
a review meeting with Naik regarding his constituency’s problems. He will
also hold similar meetings with other government departments.

While thanking Naik for his support, Furtado requested the power department
to provide a sub- station for Navelim. He further said that Rs 84 crore had
been sanctioned for underground cabling in Navelim and that the work order
should be tendered within a month.

• Underground cabling for ent i re State would cos t Rs 20,000 crore, but
department’s budget only Rs 300 crore• Joint Electricity Regulatory
Commission increased tariff• Monthly billing had started in 95 per cent of
Goa• Safety gear for linesmen has been ordered and should be here within a

Re: [Goanet] From Greece to Goa: The Anatomy of Debt Traps

2015-07-05 Thread Floriano Lobo

Belt tightening exercises were incorporated in GSRP's constitution in the
year 2000, fifteen year ago, under articles 34 and 38, in order to tackle
the profligate attitude towards spending tax-payer's money by our Goa's
elected representatives. It is little wonder that those interested in
contesting elections find GSRP a bit too strict, advocating advices likeIf
one wants to clean clogged/choked gutters, one needs to dirty one's hands,
and want us to relax these two articles which of course GSRP refuses
saying that we shall use the bypass methods to remove chocked/clogged
gutters without dirtying hands. Anaticipating such demands, GSRP went
ahead to SEAL these sensitive articles from future amendments for life.

Despite large hikes in Goa's share of cash from the Central fund (this
year up a whopping 10%), Goa's public debt is heading upward of 10,000
crore and the state is reduced to the fatal strategy of borrowing at
market rates to service interest payments. No less than Greece, this
is the definition of unsustainable economic policy.
-snip-
That highly reasonable analysis by (Laxmikant) Parsekar has been
turned on its head by his own BJP government's outsized spending spree
of a scale never seen before in Goa. A third Mandovi bridge for more
than 600 crore, the controversial bridge to Tiracol (home to exactly
300 Goans) for more than 80 crore, extraordinarily dubious
road-building and road-widening exercises for additional hundreds of
millions of rupees.
-snip-
Just as the hated 'troika' of lenders and finance ministers imposed on
Greece, Goa's political elites are now also talking of selective
austerity which does not allow increased spending on the inadequate
healthcare system, or on the state's woefully mediocre education
infrastructure.

Pay close attention to Greece by all means, because much the same is
happening in Goa too.

Well written, VM.

I only learned about the debt accumulated by the Goa Govt a week ago. The
figures mentioned were higher than yours. The problem of course is, who is
going to pay for these loans? Just like Greece, the day will come when the
Goa Govt will not be able to service its loans and pay its bills. The first
Govt service cut usually effects education, the next is health care and
then it is the services provided to everyone else.

There is an easy way to resolve this problem of overspending. All you need
is a law that says any representative who votes to spend more than 106% of
income received, will not be eligible for re-election to that position
again.

This is the only way elected representatives will come to their senses.
They will either increase income collection (taxes) or decrease spending.

Grexit is going to adversely effect more than Greece. You will soon hear
of British banks who lent money to the German banks, who in turn lent money
to Greek commercial banks. A week after the Greek businesses stop paying
their invoices, US financial institutions will admit to have lent money to
British banks that ultimately reached the Greece er, financial system.

We are in for some interesting times (if one is not a Greece resident.)

[Goanet] IS MICKKY PACHECO ENTITLED TO A GUBERNATORIAL PARDON?

2015-07-05 Thread Aires Rodrigues

The convicted now jailed former Minister and Nuvem MLA Mickky Pacheco after
having tried every possible stunt has now sought recourse of Article 161 of
the Constitution of India which confers on the Governor the right to grant
pardon to any person convicted. Mickky Pacheco on 1st June started
undergoing his six month jail sentence for having in 2006 as a Minister
slapped Electricity department Junior Engineer Kapil Natekar.



The nature and scope of the power of pardon and the extent of judicial
review over such power has come up for consideration in a catena of cases
and has now virtually crystallized into a rule of law.



In Maru Ram  Ors. v. Union of India  Ors. Krishna Iyer J, speaking for
the Constitution Bench, held that although the power under and 161 was very
wide, it could not run riot. His Lordship held that no legal power can
run unruly like John Gilpin on the horse, but must keep sensibly to a
steady course. According to His Lordship, all public power, including
constitutional power, shall never be exercisable arbitrarily or mala fide
and, ordinarily, guidelines for fair and equal execution are guarantors of
the valid play of power.



In Swaran Singh v. State of U.P.  Ors, a three-Judge Bench held that this
Court has no power to touch the order passed by the Governor under Article
161 of the Constitution. But if such power was exercised arbitrarily,
malafide or in absolute disregard of the finer canons of the
constitutionalism, the by-product order cannot get the approval of law and
in such cases, the judicial hand must be stretched to it.



Pardon is to help save an innocent person from being punished due to
miscarriage of justice or in a case of doubtful conviction. The pardoning
power is founded on consideration of public good and is to be exercised on
the ground of public welfare. This power cannot be misused to deviously
rescue the likes of Mickky Pacheco whose conviction by four Courts has been
even upheld by the Supreme Court. Any attempt to grant Mickky
Pacheco pardon would amount to making a mockery of the Judiciary and the
justice delivery system.



Ironically Mickky Pacheco who is involved in a string of criminal cases had
all along vowed that he had full faith in the Judiciary, is now crying wolf
that he did not get justice from the Courts. After having slapped and
assaulted so many officials, Mickky Pacheco should infact thank his stars
that he is facing punishment only for slapping Kapil Natekar.



Mickky Pacheco’s conduct after the Supreme Court verdict on 30th March
rejecting his appeal cannot be lost sight off. He absconded for two long
months with tax payers’ money squandered on his alleged search. That he was
evading arrest with the tacit support of the police and the government is
no secret. His gross misconduct in jail after his surrender on 1st of June
has left much to be desired from the unruly lawmaker. Two days after his
surrender Mickky Pacheco sought his release on parole for a month feigning
critical illness of his mother, when in actual fact, no such ‘critical’
ailment existed. Having now withdrawn that parole application the Nuvem MLA
has opted to gamble his luck with an application for pardon.



It is a dubious distinction achieved by Goa that for the first time an MLA
is undergoing imprisonment on conviction. If Pacheco is indeed granted
pardon, he would be the first such convict in Goa to be pardoned under
Article 161 of the Constitution. This would then, naturally, open a
Pandora’s Box by way of all other convicts who will, rightly, cite this
precedent and demand that they, too, be pardoned.



Does there exist even ONE single valid reason why Pacheco, a habitual,
repeat offender be extended this benefit of pardon? Should the Government,
by virtue of its brute majority, act high-handedly and arrogantly to shield
Mickky Pacheco it would be the last lethal nail in their coffin. Their
record of bad governance and corruption has already added up to a
voluminous encyclopedia.

Re: [Goanet] DR SHEKHAR SALKAR NEEDS A INTENSE DOSE ON ETHICS

2015-07-05 Thread Jose

Dear all,

I waited for a good 48 hours to see IF enough sense would prevail upon Aires 
Rodrigues for him to withdraw his attack on Dr. Salkar.

Allow me to place the following for your attention:

1: Aires is an LLB. I wish he had equipped himself better by doing the LLM or 
Ph.D in Law. And IF he wished to comment on Medical Ethics and  Negligence, I 
wish his LLM was in Medical Law  Ethics.

2: As Aires is NOT a physician, I expect him to be Clueless about the practice 
of medicine. Hence, I will invite him to read what my esteemed colleague, Dr. 
Santosh Helekar has written.

3: Aires also has accused Dr. Salkar of administering Chemotherapy to DEAD 
patients (plural).

4: AiresLast night on CNN, a Justice of one of the Appeals Courts (US) had 
a few choice words for a rather Aires-esque Prosecutor who according to the 
Court 'did NOT make his case' but was carrying on.in the press.  I will 
paraphrase them and re-address them to you: 

Be a Man. Take Dr. Salkar to court and Allow him to Defend himself in a court 
of law

As you would NOT be QUALIFIED to talk about Medical Matters in court, Get a 
hold of some qualified Expert Witnesses who will do that for you. Let Dr. 
Salkar (or his lawyer) Cross Examine your experts.  Don't leave them 
Faceless.Bring them out in the open.

5: Otherwise.like the Justice said (No Paraphrase): JUST SHUT UP and Go to 
the Next Case!

PS: Am copying this to Target Goa. Let me see IF TG will give unedited and 
uncensored coverage to a view critical of your view! 

With permission of Dr. Helekar...will also post this on Goa Speaks and GX. I 
personally believe that THIS, until proved otherwise, is a senseless attack on 
the Medical Professionals of Goa.

PN: This post of mine has zero to do with Dr. Salkar's involvement with 
politics, politicians and the tainted Goa Cricket Association. My view on that 
is clear: Physicians in Practice MUST stay clear of such involvements.

In the medical field rigorous training at a recognized and renowned tertiary

 innocent patients falling victims to this quack. The issue was raised only 
 after confirming with Senior Enviado do meu iPad
 
 
 Yesterday I was sent five questions on the issue and below are the answers 
 that were sent by me.
 
 1. Would you describe Dr Salkar as a fraud? If so on what level?
 
 Yes I would, because a doctor who styles himself as a Super Specialist should 
 possess a super specialty qualification over and above his general specialty 
 qualification which Dr Shekhar Salkar does not possess.
 
 
 2. What has he been doing that can be construed as malpractice?
 
 Dr Shekhar Salkar has been faking himself to be an Oncologist and Oncosurgeon 
 which he is not. It is a gross malpractice in misleading the patients and in 
 rank violation of professional ethics.
 
 3. Do you know exactly what degrees he has, and what these allow him,
 ethically, to do as a doctor?
 
 Dr Shekhar Salkar possesses an M.B.B.S degree followed by M.S Degree in 
 General Surgery. So he can only market himself as a General Surgeon alike all 
 other surgeons who practice either at Goa Medical College or Directorate of 
 Health Services or in the private sector. There are so many of them who 
 possess the same qualification as Dr Shekhar Salkar without labeling 
 themselves as a Super specialist.
 
 4. When he claims to be an oncologist, is he faking? What proves this?
 
 Yes, he is blatantly faking that he is an Oncologist or a Oncosurgeon. Please 
 note that Oncology and Oncosurgery are super specialties which include

Josebab,

Please post this also on the following Facebook thread because it
provides a link to a journalistic interview of Aires on a newly
created website:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/bettergoa/permalink/848026135244795/?comment_id=848270881886987offset=0total_comments

It also has comments from Drs. Darrell de Mello and Anil Desai,
setting the record straight.

Cheers,

Dear all,

I waited for a good 48 hours to see IF enough sense would prevail upon Aires
Rodrigues for him to withdraw his attack on Dr. Salkar.

Allow me to place the following for your attention:

1: Aires is an LLB. I wish he had equipped himself better by doing the LLM
or Ph.D in Law. And IF he wished to comment on Medical Ethics and
Negligence, I wish his LLM was in Medical Law Ethics.

2: As Aires is NOT a physician, I expect him to be Clueless about the
practice of medicine. Hence, I will invite him to read what my esteemed
colleague, Dr. Santosh Helekar has written.

3: Aires also has accused Dr. Salkar of administering Chemotherapy to DEAD
patients (plural).

4: AiresLast night on CNN, a Justice of one of the Appeals Courts (US)
had a few choice words for a rather Aires-esque Prosecutor who according to
the Court 'did NOT make his case' but was carrying on.in the press. I
will paraphrase them and re-address them to you:

Be a Man. Take Dr. Salkar to court and Allow him to Defend himself in a
court of law

As you would NOT be QUALIFIED to talk about Medical Matters in court, Get a
hold of some qualified Expert Witnesses who will do that for you. Let Dr.
Salkar (or his lawyer) Cross Examine your experts. Don't leave them
Faceless.Bring them out in the open.

5: Otherwise.like the Justice said (No Paraphrase): JUST SHUT UP and Go
to the Next Case!

PS: Am copying this to Target Goa. Let me see IF TG will give unedited and
uncensored coverage to a view critical of your view!

With permission of Dr. Helekar...will also post this on Goa Speaks and GX. I
personally believe that THIS, until proved otherwise, is a senseless attack
on the Medical Professionals of Goa.

PN: This post of mine has zero to do with Dr. Salkar's involvement with
politics, politicians and the tainted Goa Cricket Association. My view on
that is clear: Physicians in Practice MUST stay clear of such involvements.

FROM Santosh Helekar MD. Ph.D, Houston Texas (July 3, 2015)

Shekhar Salkar is a well-trained cancer surgeon. He obtained his specialty
training in cancer surgery or surgical oncology in Tata Memorial Cancer
Centre in Mumbai more than two decades ago. Medical/Surgical residency at
this institution of high repute in the cancer field is recognized by the
Medical Council of India and respected all over the world.

In the medical field rigorous training at a recognized and renowned tertiary
teaching hospital in a particular field, coupled with long clinical
experience in that field, after one has obtained a postgraduate degree such
as an MD or an MS, are considered not only sufficient to be recognized as a
specialist in the field, but indeed something that trumps any number of
paper fellowships, diplomas and certificates. Please see for example the
fact that the following two famous surgical oncologists of Mumbai, namely
Drs. Rajesh Mistry and Raman Deshpande have MS degrees in General Surgery as
their highest recognized academic qualifications:
