Publishing traffic violators' names on portal invades privacy: Ferreira
Porvorim: Aldona MLA Carlos Alvares Ferreira on Monday said publishing the names of traffic violators online invades their privacy, and that if a violator isn't prosecuted before the end of six months of being issued a challan, it is the fault of the transport department. 'Issues related to payment of (transport department) portal does not work. When a person tries to pay an old fine that is now notified, it does not allow payment. If it (the fine) is fresh, it allows payment. This is the reason for the long queue seen in Panaji for payment of fines,' Ferreira said. 'There is another thing. A person was issued a challan of Rs 13,500 based on CCTV footage. There is no time and date, but five to six offences are listed against him, one contradicting the other. When I asked one of your officers, he said let him visit the office, and if he has not violated, we will challan the rest of the violations. This is not the way,' the MLA said. 'There is another matter which I think is of very serious concern regarding publishing data of traffic violators on the portal. This, according to me, is an invasion of privacy,' he said. 'The law is very simple. You need to file a complaint in the court within six months if it is only fines, as per the Code of Criminal Procedure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Look at Beauty Clinics Helping Skin Feel Fresh Again TopicVoyager Learn More Undo If you don't file within six months or file even one day after six months, I can say that your case is time-barred. If your proceeding itself lapsed after six months, how can you show the person on your website as a defaulter? It is your fault for not initiating prosecution.' Ferreira further said that there is no proper bus stop in the state and no signage at bus stands. Lack of signage leads to people sitting at the bus stand for hours without knowing when the bus will arrive, he said.

CAG-related irregularities: Aldona MLA for FIR against GIDC officials
Porvorim: Pointing to the irregularities observed by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on several issues pertaining to the Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), Aldona MLA Carlos Alvares Ferreira on Monday demanded an FIR be filed against the corporation's director and officials. The CAG observed that the waiver of transfer fees would adversely affect the GIDC's financial result. 'We don't know who the beneficiaries were and who was making decisions at that time,' he said. 'Were they (board of directors) trying to finish the corporation? I think an FIR should be filed against the board of directors and the money should be recovered.' Ferreira said the CAG observed irregularities in the Rs 3-crore expenditure by the GIDC in organising Invest Goa 2024. The GIDC awarded the event to an ineligible bidder, resulting in the loss of GST input credit of Rs 45 lakh, the CAG said. It further noted that although the RFP had 76 line items describing requirements under venue, catering, branding, transportation, etc, the value was not estimated. The board was requested to approve a lump sum of Rs 3 crore for the event without any indicative costs for each line item. The Aldona MLA said the CAG stated that on Nov 11, 2023, the GIDC received an unsolicited offer from Myles High Hotels and Towers Pvt Ltd for leasing office space in its building at Patto, Panaji, for Rs 5.7 lakh plus taxes and maintenance fees, which was agreed to. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Simple Powder Could Be the Key to a Fresher Scalp Read More Undo The CAG observed irregularities by the GIDC in leasing the premises, resulting in a loss of Rs 1.2 crore.

Oppn blames govt for not ensuring jobs for locals
Porvorim: Blaming govt for doing little to ensure employment opportunities for locals, legislators on Friday said that private companies continue to flout recruitment norms by hiring workers from other states. Legislators said that with over 1.2 lakh Goan youth registered with the employment exchange, sustainable job opportunities are required to ensure that local youth are gainfully employed. The MLAs pointed out that Goa's unemployment rate is pegged at 19%, one of the highest in the country. Govt said that the employment exchange registrations are inflated as many applicants do not remove their names in the hope of landing a govt job. Congress MLA Carlos Ferreira moved a private member's resolution asking govt to address the issue of unemployment in the state. Ferreira said that govt must ensure that Goans are 'prioritised' in recruitment opportunities. Ferreira also demanded stringent measures to guarantee transparency in the recruitment process, equitable access, and protection of the rights of those already employed. 'Companies like Cipla, which are heavily favoured by govt, are not even hiring locals,' Goa Forward Party MLA Vijai Sardesai said.

Calling the situation 'grave and unacceptable,' Sardesai demanded the formation of two high-level task forces to prioritise employment. However, labour and employment minister Atanasio Monserrate blamed Goans for not showing interest in private sector jobs.

Uproar in House over Carlos calling new law ‘official land grab' in video
Porvorim: There was an uproar in the House on Thursday as arguments between ruling and opposition MLAs heated up during a calling-attention motion by Curchorem MLA Nilesh Cabral. He sought the withdrawal from social media of a video by Aldona MLA Carlos Ferreira, in which the latter said that the new law on no man's land was an 'official land grab' ploy. Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that Ferreira was defaming govt, while revenue minister Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate said that Ferreira was fearmongering. Cabral said that Ferreira was misrepresenting the provisions of the Goa Escheats, Forfeiture and Bona Vacantia Act, 2024. 'The bill seeks to protect the land of Goans, especially those lands lying vacant and abandoned, and are at risk from illegal encroachments, fraudulent transfers, and land grabbers,' Cabral said. 'Govt needs to counter this false propaganda on the act.' Ferreira said govt needs to auction the land it takes over and cannot divert it for any purpose it wants. He said there is no clear definition of abandoned properties in the act. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo by Taboola by Taboola Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai said that Ferreira has only repeated in the video what opposition MLAs said during the discussion on the bill in the House and asked why the ruling side was creating an issue over the words 'official land grab' now. 'He cannot be allowed to make baseless allegations. If he has a problem with the bill, he should challenge it in court. Our intent is clean and clear,' Sawant said. He said, 'We have registered 22 cases of land grab so far under the SIT formed for this purpose. The land of people living in foreign countries is being grabbed. We are the first govt to act against it.' Sawant said govt has already clarified that it is only taking over properties which are no man's land. Ferreira said there is no question of withdrawing his video as he has the right to speak out. 'After one year, how many cases have been filed under the new legislation? How many abandoned properties are there, can govt reply?' asked Sardesai. Monserrate said that unlike what is being projected, no survey has been carried out to identify any vacant houses in the state and said that procedures are on to take action on no man's land as stipulated by the new legislation.
