GOVERNOR SANKARANARAYANAN COMPLIES WITH RTI ACT IN MAHARASTRA BUT NOT IN GOA.

Goa Governor Mr. K. Sankaranarayanan like his predecessor Dr.S.S.Sidhu has refused to comply with the Right to Information Act.

The Goa Raj Bhavan this week has refused to furnish information soughtby Adv. Aires Rodrigues under the Right to Information Act whilecontinuing to claim that the Goa Governor is not a Public Authority.

Adv. Rodrigues had sought details of the total expenditure incurred in2011 on the Goa Governor’s official and unofficial visits out of Goa.

Adv. Rodrigues has today questioned as to how GovernorSankaranarayanan who as Governor of Maharashtra was complying with the Right to Information Act, was strangely claiming that in Goa he was not a Public Authority.

Governor K. Sankaranarayanan who assumed charge as Governor of Goa on 8th September 2011 is also the Governor of Maharashtra Adv. Aires Rodrigues has stated that it was inconceivable that the same person was taking a different stand as Governor in two States.

Stating that the Right to Information Act was enacted to ensuretransparency and accountability, Adv. Rodrigues has wondered as to what the Goa Raj Bhavan was trying to conceal by blatantly violatingthe Right to Information Act.

Reminding Governor Sankaranarayanan that even the President of Indiawas complying with the Right to Information Act, Adv. Rodrigues hasdemanded that the working and functioning of the Goa Raj Bhavan beopen to public scrutiny.

"MOTHER'S DAY" GOOD TIATRO BUT "BURXI" COMEDY.

Attended by a capacity crowd, on Friday 30th of last month Milagres de Chador staged his well acclaimed Tiatro "Mother's Day" in Kuwait. Though the main story was meaningful but its beauty was spoiled by the vulgar and undignified comedy which does not suit Goan culture and Tiatro tradition.

Annie played a fantastic role capturing the major attention of the audience, her dress code was excellent befitting her beauty. Young daughter of the director Miss Hazl with her beautiful looks and smart acting dazzled the audience. Her father Milagres de Chandor should potray her positively befitting her beauty just as C. Alvares did for Mohana during those good old days. C. Alvares did not exploit Mohana's beauty for potraying her cheaply and vulgarly, for this reason Mohana was then admired by all.

Among the side show songs, Lopes Bros' song was the best on Anna Hazare while Marcus Vaz rendered his solo on the late Rosary Ferns. One minute silence was also observed in the hall for the departed soul of Rosary Ferns. Francis de Tuem's song was like a fire against Goan politicians. Chief Guest Mickey Pacheco presented Francis de Tuem for this song a prize money of US$200/- Jessica and Lawry Travasso rendered a nice song on Goa.

This Tiatro was organised by Xavier and Manuel Production, Kuwait.
