[Goanet] Late Luis de Assis Correia ... on the Portuguese-Mughal relations, and stories from Goa of the past

2021-03-13 Thread Frederick Noronha

The late Luis de Assis Correia talks about his 2017-published book
*Portuguese India and Mughal Relations 1510-1735*, which was published in
2017.  His story begins with "two orphans of the king" being presented at
the Mughal court by the Sultan of Gujarat, in 1525.  He also focuses on
Akbar and Jehangir, the Mughal Emperors.  In a freewheeling three-part
interview, the man who loved understanding and writing about Goan history
talks about his family stories, his own life, his times and why he thinks
history is important to just about any society.

[Goanet] Panjim Drains

2021-03-13 Thread Stephen Dias

PANJIM DRAINS

BY Stephen Dias, Dona Paula
Retd Scientist- A1 Instrumentation and Social Activist
12TH MARCH 2021


The CCP always claims that they have done all required pre monsoon work on
all the drains and that avoiding flooding and water logging in Panjim takes
top priority. However year after year they are proved wrong when the water
accumulating on roads and overflowing storm gutters are visible proof of
either lack of action or incompetence.
Of course pedestrians are the most affected. Forget floods, even a light
rain is a disaster for them. Vehicles, especially buses, while travelling
on water-logged Miramar and Campal roads, splash pedestrians and two
wheeler drivers without mercy. Two wheelers face bigger problem - we find
them zig zagging to avoid water splashing, often resulting in accidents and
even sometimes casualties.

The colossal environmental degradation in goa has been witnessing over the
years by way of rampant destruction of hills, fragmentation of pristine
landscapes through ruthless chopping of trees and by not even sparing the
lower lying fields by pouring concrete in them, shows the impact of
criminal interference in Goa's age old natural ecosystem. Of course do not
forget the Casinos which have obstructed the natural movement of the river
and sand and are causing major displacement of water and flow. Nature's
fury cannot be averted as the rain usually plays havoc with the
administration's poor attempts to prepare.

This time also the city MLA Babush Monserratte has given solemn assurances
to the citizens of Panjim assuring them that this time panjim will not face
water logging as he has taken a drive to clean all the gutters specially in
Campal and Miramar. Unfortunately this is easier said than done.

The traditional drainage system, water ways, and outlets for natural flow
of rainwater are choked all over with no functional drainage system
well-maintained by the authorities of the corporation of the city of Panjim.

We residents of Panjim have witnessed how the capacitance Goan communities
built over centuries with time-tested strategies designed to prevent
flooding, is now getting deteriorated every year. I remember the planning
of drainage outlets during my younger days because of which we had no major
flooding in the streets of Panjim. Of course credit is also due to the
efficient maintenance by the Portugese authorities. I remember where some
major storm drain inlets were located. One was near Umesh Keni Petrol pump
in Portais, another was at Ninho Infantil, Fontainhas, Custom house,
Miramar, near Panjim market, Campal, Aivao market and others.These storm
water drains were periodically cleaned and there was no blockage at all
which made for safe travelling on roads. But now, all these drains are not
only blocked but the documentation existing in the CCP and PWD has gone for
a toss and nobody knows if the records are available or not.

This year the deterioration has reached a new peak since the roads are full
of potholes and chambers that are not well aligned, not even level, by the
PWD. The tender does not specify such aspects for the contractor to execute
the work and mostly supervision is not adequate or missing. The drain
covers/slabs are also not well designed and all over Panjim we see a number
of different types of covers of different sizes and thicknesses. They are
not uniform. The CCP and PWD workers cannot lift these drain enclosures as
they are heavy and no lifting vehicles/gadgets have been given to them.
Their backbones can be injured if they continue to accept such heavy loads.
A new concept should be introduced - uniform design for efficiency in terms
of replacement and cost, strong enough to last, less weight and less
thickness to be easily handled. I recently saw a close-to-ideal design in
use by the CCP. See photo attached. Some improvement in terms of weight and
thickness would be preferable. One benefit is that tourists or other
anti-social elements cannot put bottles and other garbage into the drains
with such covers.

The CCP carries out pre-monsoon work by trial and error method and is
hampered partially also because of the construction that has come up all
over the city. Taking this into consideration the drains needed to be
cleared much before the monsoon starts. The problem lies with the
government as the funds are always approved at the last moment. Hence the
jobs entrusted to the contractor are delayed. I cannot bame the contractors
or charge them with not trying. I recently saw them attempting to clean a
gutter in Panjim market. The fleet of workers and engineers struggled to
remove the sand and mud from the gutter and load it into a truck. When
questioned by me they said nothing can be done in terms of prevention
because sand keeps on entering from the Mandovi shore side with the
pressure of waves, thus getting the drain choked again and again. I asked
whether the complete drain was cleared up to the beach. They said the
asphalted road cannot

[Goanet] BABUSH’S MEN FOLLOW THEIR MASTER’S FOOTSTEPS

2021-03-13 Thread Aires Rodrigues

Babush Monserrate is known to breach every Law possible.

Now his men two days ago in Fonduvem at Ribandar with vested motives very
high-handedly filled an age old public well with mud. This clandestine
operation was done late at night under the cover of darkness.

Have raised this serious issue with the concerned authorities and the law
will take its course against the accused involved, two of whom have already
been identified.

And if this destruction of our public well was done with the blessings of
Babush Monserrate, even the Panaji MLA will not be spared.

[Goanet] SOCIAL MEDIA A VERY POWERFUL AND POTENT TOOL

2021-03-13 Thread Aires Rodrigues

In recent years, the social media has transformed our lives by drastically
enhancing and empowering people to access information quicker and to be
able to communicate instantly across the world.

Through the worldwide web, Whatsapp, Twitter and the various groups on Face
book, besides other global networking sites that I subscribe to, in a few
minutes every morning, I am able to communicate by sharing a message or a
thought with thousands of people across the globe.

I believe in fearlessly putting across my viewpoint so the recipient can
benefit from the information I communicate or use it as an opportunity to
express his own opinion, without getting into a never ending debate or
argument which could be fruitless.

It’s an amazing world! A huge contrast and improvement on the bad old days
when the wheels of communication would turn ever so slowly.

Hi Folks
This video is more or less a continuation of the earlier one about India's
likely take over of Britain!

India, to the best of my knowledge, has never really invaded another
country -- militarily -- but economically are we gradually taking over
Britain, initially their major industries --  e.g. Tata-British Steel, JLR
Motors, and lots more???
