Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Margao Hospicio Hospital (MHH) is totally neglected by our health department. When asked why, one person from the depart claim that MHH is about to be shifted to new location near Kadamba Bus Stand. He also told me that the proposal and the plan are in final stage. I was shocked to learn that government is deliberately neglecting maintenance of MHH. This is contrary to the demands made by Margao dwellers. Margao dwellers' including Margao doctors wants MHH to be renovated and expanded at the present central location. They say MHH can be expanded back side as well as on the front side and that TB hospital must be linked to MHH. Just when this debate was going on out came the cat. It seems our Margao politician has assured Muslim community that the TB Hospital will be renovated at a hooping 40 Crores only to be donated to them as Muslim School to teach Urdu! Surprising decision!! Many Margao dwellers say - Is TB Hospital a private property of Margao Politician? I think time has come for all Margao dwellers to collectively question this move to Margao politician. On this issue Floriano is right in saying - in Goa Charity does not begin nor ends at home??
