[Goanet] CLEANING THE STATE COFFERS AND NOT THE BEACHES

2016-02-06 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar left behind a huge string of
scams and slipped off to be the Defence Minister. Thanks to the Right to
Information Act the alleged multi crore beach cleaning scam has come to
light.



A complaint was last year filed with the Vigilance department seeking a
meticulous probe into the role of Avdhoot Parrikar in this fraud as
the beach cleaning contract was awarded while his elder brother Manohar
Parrikar was the Chief Minister.  Though the name of Avdhoot Parrikar does
not figure anywhere in the official papers,  there is enough evidence that
he  has been the man behind the scene attending meetings between the
beach cleaning contractors and government officials details of which have
been given to the Vigilance department.



In the complaint it has been sought that  a F.I.R be registered against
Goa’s Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar, Managing Director of Goa Tourism
Development Corporation Nikhil Dessai who often officiates as Director of
Tourism, Manish Mohata owner of Ram Engineering and Construction Company
and Bhumika Clean Tech Pvt Ltd,  and Avdhoot Parrikar the brother of former
Chief  Minister Manohar Parrikar in connection with this  alleged
multi-crore scam  in the tender of the so called Comprehensive Management
of Cleanliness of Goa beaches.



It has been sought that the F.I.R. be registered under Sec. 420, 120 (b) of
Indian Penal Code for cheating the State and criminal conspiracy in
connivance with the contractors and also under Sec.7, 8, 9 & 13 (1) (d)
read with Section13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 for
abusing official position for pecuniary gains besides abetting corruption.



Documents obtained under the Right to Information Act had revealed that the
Goa Government in September 2014 while Manohar Parrikar was the Chief
Minister, awarded the contract of Comprehensive Management of cleanliness
of North Goa Beaches to Bhumika Cleantech Services Pvt Ltd at a annual cost
of Rs 7,51,40,999 and the cleaning of South Goa beaches to Ram Cleansers &
Developers Pvt Ltd at a cost of Rs 7,04,87,999 with both the companies
being owned by Manish Mohata.



This so called scientific beach cleaning  contract was awarded to these
little known companies at a very exorbitant annual rate of Rs.14.56 crores
though for the earlier years the cleaning of Goa beaches was costing
the State Government an average of a mere two crores annually.



In the name of scientific cleaning these contractors have totally neglected
the beaches, with heaps of garbage seen everywhere and the contractors
burning non-biodegradable waste on the beaches while other waste strewn in
the vegetation and sand dumped on it to hide the buried waste.  Given to
the Vigilance departments are  over 150 photographs of beaches across Goa
showing that the contractors were high-handedly destroying the flora and
fauna on the beaches and the fragile eco-system by digging pits and burning
garbage on Government property while flouting the Central and State
Pollution control board guidelines.



These so called beach cleaning companies  roped in by Tourism Department
have failed to fulfill even the minimum terms and conditions laid down in
the tender documents and while submitting bills have given fake names of
staff besides seeking payments for works not executed. The 4000 sq mt land
at Saligao given to these contractors for segregation and disposal of waste
has been recklessly turned into another Sonsoddo like garbage dump.



The Tourism department has been in a fast forward mode to release the
payments to the contractors while in connivance with some corrupt officials
even the length and the breath of the beaches have been manipulated. For
example the Vagator, Vozrant and Anjuna stretch which though only 3kms had
been shown as 7kms.


This entire multi-crore scam must be thoroughly investigated with the
guilty punished and recovery proceedings initiated against the tainted
officials involved while the services of these fraudulent contractors
should be immediately terminated if the Government wants to prove its
bonafides on its much publicized mantra of Zero Tolerance to Corruption. .

[Goanet] AIFF REPORT: A YOUTHFUL BREEZE FLOWS IN THE INDIAN WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM

2016-02-06 Thread AIFF Reports
Dear colleagues,


Please find below a report on the youth Players present in the Indian
Women’s Senior National Team.


Also, the match report of India’s clash against Sri Lanka today, can be
found on www.the-aiff.com


*We request you to follow AIFF Twitter Handle @AIFFMedia for regular
updates.*


Regards,
AIFF Media Team



*A YOUTHFUL BREEZE FLOWS IN THE INDIAN WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM*

*AIFF Media Team*



*NEW DELHI: *Experience fused with exuberance of youth is perhaps a perfect
recipe for any Team across all Sports. While the Indian Senior Women’s
National Team boasts of experienced Players like Bembem Devi, Bala Devi and
Sasmita Malik, a pinch of youth has been added by young Players such as
Dalima Chibber, Sanju and Pyari Xaxa to the squad, whose average age is
just under 24.



In a quest to harvest the youth of Women’s Football India whilst providing
them with experience and evolution as Players in a competitive environment,
Head Coach of the Indian Women, Sajid Dar included 5 U-19 Players – Pyari
Xaxa, Dalima Chibber, Sanju, Panthoi Chanu, Sangita Basfore – in his squad
for the 12th South Asian Games.



And, Dalima and Sanju did even make their debuts against Maldives.



Talking exclusively to www.the-aiff.com Sajid Dar explained the importance
of inclusion of young Players in the National Team setup. “Young Players
are like raw diamonds which you have to polish through exposure in
competitive environment to make them finished products.”



“Every Player is important in any National Team setup. However, it is the
youth who are responsible to continue the legacy of the National Team by
learning from their mentors in the National Camps.”



“The notion behind choosing young Players (in the final 20 member squad)
was to give them exposure as they have the dexterity in them to become some
of the best Players in India,” Sajid added.



Complementing the youth in the Women’s Squad, the legendary Bembem Devi
quipped: “They are always eager to learn and that is something which takes
a Football Player a long way.”



“Football is game which is learnt both on and off the pitch and the young
Players have already shown their passion towards it. However, they still
have a long way to go.”



Sticking to his words to promote youth, Sajid Dar gave debuts to Dalima
Chibber and Sanju in India’s 0-0 draw against Maldives on February 05, 2016.



For Dalima it was like a date with destiny. “It was like a dream come
true,” says Dalima in retrospect. “Playing for the Senior Team for the
first time was an emotional and incredible experience for me.”



“The minute the National Anthem played I got goose-bumps and experience
such as that can hardly be put into words.”



“I never thought I would be able to brush shoulder against the likes of
Bem-di (Bembem Devi), Aditi-di and Bala-di, but here I was yesterday doing
just that.”



After a brief pause she adds: “I still cannot get over that.”



Sanju, who came on as a second half substitute for Prameshwori Devi at
half-time was “overwhelmed by the gravity of the moment.”



“It was a bitter-sweet experience. I was happy to make my debut, but at the
same time saddened by the draw. My dreams came true when Coach told me to
replace Pam-di (Parameshwori Devi).”



Women’s Football in India is on an upward surge with the help of the Woman
oriented projects that the AIFF has initiated in recent times. The
inclusion of as many as 5 Players in the National Team setup is nothing
short of a statement, that the best is yet to come.



Regards,
AIFF Media Team

[Goanet] Daily News & Analysis IAF to vacate Leh airport, to develop base at alternate site

2016-02-06 Thread Devak Argham
Where there is a will there is a way.  In case of Goa no will hence NO WAY.


http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-iaf-to-vacate-leh-airport-to-develop-base-at-alternate-site-2174640


A meeting held by Divisional Commissioner (Kashmir) Asgar Hassan
Samoon was on Friday told that IAF has agreed to vacate the Leh
airport which will be handed over to the Airports Authority of India
for expansion as part of efforts to encourage tourism in Ladakh
region, an official spokesman said on Saturday.

The airport in Leh will be vacated by the Air Force which will develop
its base at an alternate site in the strategically-located district of
Jammu and Kashmir bordering Pakistan and China under an agreement
intended to be finalised by this month end.

Similarly, the Army has agreed to vacate a large tract of land
presently under its control in Kargil district, adjoining Leh, in
Ladakh, which will be used for the expansion of the town. Army will be
given alternate land in lieu.

A meeting held by Divisional Commissioner (Kashmir) Asgar Hassan
Samoon was on Friday told that IAF has agreed to vacate the Leh
airport which will be handed over to the Airports Authority of India
for expansion as part of efforts to encourage tourism in Ladakh
region, an official spokesman said on Saturday.

The meeting, also attended by officials of IAF, Airports Authority of
India and civil administration, was informed that the state government
has identified land in lieu of the existing IAF airbase in Leh.

The IAF officials, who attended the meeting, said the alternate site
offered by the state government in Leh has been examined by experts
and they are ready to take over if the state government finalises the
deal.

The Divisional Commissioner was informed that the modalities are being
worked out to shift the existing airbase in Leh to Airports Authority
of India which will expand it for civilian purposes, the spokesman
said.

Samoon said the paperwork to finalise the deals should be done on
priority so that it is transferred to the civil government by the end
of February.

He said that the transfer agreements should be taken up on priority to
fully exploit the huge tourism potential of Leh and Kargil which in
turn would generate much needed employment opportunities for local
youth, the spokesman said.

Samoon also directed the Airports Authority to explore possibility of
starting night operations at Srinagar airport.

The Air Force officials informed Samoon that they have already given
in writing that they have no issues if the airport hosts flights
during night.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Commissioner Budgam Mir Altaf
Ahmad, Senior Manager Airport Authority of India Manjeet Singh, Air
Commodore AOC 21 wing, AOC Srinagar and other officers of civil
administration and Air Force.

was 7.20pm and must have reached at KA 9.15pm
Half the time, our King Momo was invisible from his podium.. 
Some good and traditional floats were seen at the end in the dark and hurriedly 
moving
Plenty of Police mamas including PI, SP etc inside the barrier thus causing 
obstructions to clear view

many pics uploaded here
More to be added soon
