‘Maintenance in Cuncolim Market Complex is a disaster’: Khabir Moraes actvist













rr Moraes activist

“These photographs were taken on 5th June 2021. Every year the issue of maintaining the market was raised. it is very frustrating to see the public funds, being wasted/not utilized efficiently. Lack of funds was the most common answer to my question, by the previous council,” says Khabir Moraes in his facebook post.

The new council headed by Chairperson Laxman Naik of Congress took charge in the first week of April this year.

People of hoping for change but the ”Smart Cuncolim” is taking a lot of time to take shape. It is close to four months since the new council took over, that is close to 120 days!!!!!!

The elements are not adding up to bring about a solid change. Who are the elements who are holding the Congress-led council making sweeping changes in terms of maintenance and administration of the market is billion dollar question. 

Cuncolim Congress should expose such elements which have destroyed the fair and clean name of Cuncolim and holding them and giving Cuncolkar a clean and well maintained Cuncolim Market Complex.

This is what Cuncolim Block president Assis Noronha have to say about on the Cuncolim Market Complex’s disastrous maintenance.

Do not except miracles overnight: Assis

“It's a very good thing about you Khabir raising such important issues. I appreciate, I respect your concern and views but some elements are just waiting to pounce and instigate people on whatever you or anyone posts such posts just to defame the present council.

“Infact, the MLA is there for the past 2 years in the ruling BJP which he joined to do development. So far what development has happened I don't know. But what I feel about people is that they don't question the MLA. The council has taken over the reins in April'21. After 7 days in the chair, the Chairperson was tested positive for Covid-19 and was in Victor Hospital for a month.

“But we have noted every possible work that has been totally neglected by the MLA and the past council.

“One cannot expect magic overnight. We will see that we do everything that was promised in our municipal elections manifesto.”

Vignettes of Ghodkem, a solo exhibition by Goan artist Mohit Naik

 Vignettes of Ghodkem, a solo exhibition by Goan artist Mohit Naik It was only a matter of time before Mohit Naik, son of the noted Goan artist Mohan Naik, unleashed the artist within. And, what better way to present his solo debut than capturing stunning scenes from his village, Ghodkem, in his paintings. Many artists have a muse, and generations of artists have been influenced by, and admired, the older genre of artists. And, it’s a no-brainer to figure out that Mohit Naik gleans inspiration from his father, Mohan, an artist who art aficionados and collectors have followed for over a couple of decades. FROM ACADEMICS TO ART Growing up with easels, paint and canvas, Mohit always wanted to be an artist. He painted on canvas in Std V, experimenting with varying mediums, and won school level competitions. His first group show was in 2008, at Attic Art Gallery, in Panjim, and Art Fest in Chichinim in 2011. He then perused academics, attaining a BA in Business Administration, and an MB...

Farming WITHERS in Cuncolim, as fields lie idle and BARREN

Not so long ago Cuncolim and surrounding villages like Assolna, Velim, Sarzora and Chinchinim were well known for agricultural activities.However, strange as it may sound, but the truth is that this erstwhile fertile region of Cuncolim is slowly turning barren. Cuncolim and surrounding villages were known for farming and paddy cultivation. And beside extensive paddy cultivation, farmers also grew chilly and other seasonal vegetables. In fact, the red leafy vegetable and red chilly of Cuncolim had a great demand in the yester years. However, today all this may seem history. And surprisingly, not even the ten per cent of land is used for agricultural purpose as most farmers have left farming to take up other profitable and less cumbersome jobs. With about ninety per cent of farmers quitting the ancestral profession, only a handful of about ten per cent or even less are ensuring that their land is being regularly cultivated.It is difficult to imagine that not so long ago, farmers would ac...
