GT: [Goa 3] - Villagers pleas on deaf ears since 4 years - A situation that has pushed the villagers to brink of frustration due to lack of govt initiative.
Comment: A sad story for a State that enjoyed the number one status in India. Henceforth, should there be any classification for states, the criterion should be based on the least developed 'ward' in the thinking that a nation is strong if the ward is strong making the village, the constituency, the state and ultimately the nation strong. Celebrating Goa's number one status is hollow as ever when we have villages like Dule, Daukond, Tatodi, Rumma and Ambe do not even have proper roads. Goa's past and present political class must be ashamed. ** NT - P5 - Photo inset.

Comments: Hope the NT will publish a similar photograph of the CM using the 'loo' on as important a festive occasion.

Comment: A lost cause really. Dr. Salelkar in his last months in office as the Director of Health Services was gifted 6 PVC anti-mosquito adapters by me personally at his office at Panjim telling him "Fix these to the airing pipes of the septic tanks of all your health centers because the mosquitoes that we have around for 365 days are manufactured in those tanks without your health officers even knowing about it." I bet that they must be still lying around in that office somewhere, having lost my hard-worked-for Rs. 300/- floriano goasuraj
