----------------------------------------------------------------------- Documented by Goa Desc Documentation Service & circulated by Goa Civic & Consumer Action Network (GOA CAN)<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- World Tourism Day World tourism day will be celebrated on September 27. Could it be possible for the Government of India tourist office at Panaji to remove the wild bushes and grass covering the tourism hoarding next to it. The Goa tourism department may also do the same thing for the tourism boards at Patto bridge and at various locations at Ribandar and Old Goa road to enable the travellers to read the matter displayed on them. In case it is not possible for the tourism department to repair the dilapidated information boards at Kavlem, Mangueshi and other locations and to provide domes with bulbs on the tops of the poles standing on the Mandovi Promenade at Panaji, the same may be removed before September 27 so as to keep the location clean. On the world tourism day, certificates of appreciation may be awarded to the oldest tourist taxi owner/driver, approved tourist guide and others in recognition of their contribution towards promotion of tourism in Goa. B G KHANDEPARKER, Caranzalem ------------------------------------------- Listening Post The Navhind Times 23/9/02 ------------------------------------------ Not Our Responsibility IN his letter titled 'World Tourism Day' (LP, September 23), B G Khandeparkar takes up the issue of removal of wild bushes and grass covering the tourism hoarding next to the Government of India Tourist office at Panaji. Being the assistant director of the tourist office, I wish to inform the public that the office at Panaji is housed in rented premises in the Comunidade building. The overall maintenance, cleanliness (periodic or otherwise) is the sole discretion of the administrator of comunidades of the central zone. We have taken up the issue of maintenance and cleanliness in the past with various administrators who had been posted from time to time. We were told that the comunidade does not have the funds to maintain and repair the building. We have now taken it upon ourselves to obtain a no-objection certificate for external cleanliness, refurbishment and restoration of our part of the building that is still awaited from the administrator of the comunidades of central zone.
