From pulao to momos, wild veg takes centre stage at fest
Canacona: A unique ran-bhaji or wild vegetable festival was held in Canacona on Saturday, showcasing over 550 dishes made from wild and seasonal vegetables. Scores of people thronged the third successive edition of the ran-bhaji festival in Canacona to sample the dishes, many of which are on their way to extinction. As many as 182 different groups, comprising 139 self-help groups, 20 anganwadis, and 23 high schools, participated in the festival, with each group presenting a minimum of three dishes. The IIHM with its Young Chef Olympiad 2025 team also took part in the festival. Hundreds of visitors followed the chief guests, and such was the demand that within no time most dishes were sold out, with only a few remaining with the participating groups at the end. Some of the interesting preparations included ran-bhaji cake, ran-bhaji pulao, ran-bhaji momos, and ran-bhaji cutlets. Many counters also offered different types of ran-bhaji in raw form for sale at reasonable rates.

‘Operation Sindoor' is Bharat's declaration of war against terrorism, its sponsors: Goa BJP chief
Under Operation Sindoor, Indian armed forces on Wednesday carried out precise missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan under 'Operation Sindoor' in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. In a statement on Friday, Naik said that the operation 'sends a loud and clear message to the world that Bharat will not tolerate terror in any form, and will go to any extent to eliminate it'. Panaji, May 9 (PTI) BJP Goa president Damodar Naik has said that 'Operation Sindoor' is not just a military strike but Bharat's firm declaration of war against terrorism and its sponsors. 'Operation Sindoor is not just a military strike – it is Bharat's firm declaration of war against terrorism and its sponsors,' said Naik. The BJP leader said Bharat watched in silence, absorbed the pain, and responded when the time was right. The Pahalgam attack was not an isolated incident, he said. 'From 26/11 in Mumbai to Pulwama, from Uri to Pahalgam, Bharat has been repeatedly provoked by Pakistan-backed terrorism. But today, under a strong and determined leadership, the country has shown that we will not forget, we will not forgive, and we will hit back,' he said. Naik, on behalf of the BJP Goa, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his firm leadership and decisive action. 'BJP Goa also congratulates Nari Shakti along with Armed Forces, Navy and Air Force who displayed tremendous courage, precision, and planning in hitting the most critical installations of the Pakistan-sponsored terror network,' he said. Naik added, 'At the same time, we pray for the safety and security of every soldier who is out there, standing tall to protect our nation and our fellow countrymen.'
