Goemkarponn desk PANAJI: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Girish Chodankar today said that the most irresponsible, insensitive and defective Chief Minister, Dr Pramod Sawant, has become a laughing stock with his 102 per cent theory on Covid Vaccination. “The new theory of the Chief Minister is perfectly in line with the Jumla Politics of the BJP. The BJP Government at the Centre as well as the State has always spread lies and falsehood.

Goemkarponn desk CALANGUTE: The Chief Minister of Goa, Dr Pramod Sawant’s claim of Har Ghar Jal in Goa, has fallen flat once again as the residents of Clanagute had to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi without a drop of water. The villagers of Calangute are up in arms over the issue as the government has declared 16000 litres of water free for Goans from September 1.

But what will he give…
The Bakers and Confectioners Association has made a series of demands before the government, and the demands are justifiable to a greater extent. First of all, the material prices for bread or pao have sky-rocketed, and besides that, it has become very difficult to find labour. If the workers are found, their rates have become absolutely high. Mind you, not many Goans want to work in a bakery, and hence the traditional bakers are forced to employ migrant workers. So much so that the poders we found on bicycles early morning in the yesteryears have been replaced by non-Goans, who…

The residents put the blame firmly on the head of the sitting MLA Nilkanth Halrnkar who has led to this pitiable condition of the roads. Halarnkar famously moved from the Congress to the BJP for “development”. Residents can clearly see the amount of work that has not been done by the MLA. The…
