LACK OF MEDICAL SERVICE AT NIGHT TIME.

On fifth of this month, a friend of mine in Calangute fell sick suddenly at about 9.00 PM, bleeding thru his nose.  Having no proper medical facility in that village, he was rushed to Candolim at one of the private hospitals, at about 10.00 PM but it was found closed on the main gate itself.  After persistent calls to open the gate, one Nurse appeared and said that there is no resident doctor to see the patient.  Then in that precarious condition my friend was rushed to another prominent private hospital in Candolim where the resident sister told the same answer advising further to take the patient to Candolim Health Center.  Having gone there my friend was checked with a cursory glance and advised to take him to Mapusa district hospital or to Galaxy private hospital where he was given the necessary treatment by the resident doctor there and sent home.

It is surprising to know that being such a mighty village with a mighty name and fame Calangute where most of the tourists are flocking, there is no proper medical facility for a common man with a common sickness during the emergency at night time.  And in Candolim which is the world renown village known all over the world as the village that gave birth to the world renown personality Abade Faria and Pintos  revolutionaries, it is surprising to be aware that there is no proper doctors and no proper medical facilities in all the three hospitals there during the night time.  If those  hospitals do not have resident doctors round the clock  then they  should be called Clinics only.

In such a situation how Goa government will promote tourism in Goa and in costal belt areas without proper medical facilities?  Because of such missing facilities responsible tourists are afraid to come to Goa for holidays.  This is one of the reasons for diminishing the number of tourists in Goa and as a matter of fact  it will go on diminishing more and more till tourism is collapsed in Goa though  however much tourism minister  may say it is boosting in Goa.  Unless you give better facilities and safety for their life, tourists will never come to Goa in big number.

PARRICAR UNFIT TO BE THE DEFENSE MINISTER.

The defence portfolio is the most important portfolio for India when on both the sides India is surrounded by the hostile neighbours; Pakistan is the worst as it came into being to oppose India. Hence, India needs a well versed defense minister to handle the most complicated defensive system.  In the history of independent India, only once India lost its war against China because of the amateur defense minister Krishna Menon who was smart in some other field but never in defense.  Then Y.B. Chawan came to head this ministry and while taking up this portfolio, he said  “I am going to Delhi  from Maharastra to get back the thousands of acres of land China captured from us in that war”.  But in the end, what has happened? China subsequently captured more Indian land because our defense system was weak and not capable to face the onslaught  neither of China nor  currently of Pskistan.   In such a situation, India cannot afford to leave the task of protecting the nation’s borders into the hands of amateur person like Manohar Parricar who may be good in some other field.

Before the starting of Gulf War for the liberation of Kuwait, The US President George Bush Sr. brought in the expert in defense and armament system, Dick Chenney under whose leadership USA fought the war and liberated Kuwait.  I still remember one eyed man Moshe Dayan of Israel who as defense strategist of Israel made the entire Arab world headed by Gamal Nasser of Egypt eat a humble pie in the Arab-Israeli war of 1965 when Nasser arrogantly vowed to dump tiny Israel into the sea.  

Parricar is no doubt a smart man but surely not in the defense.  He is a big risk in India’s defense system.  His knowledge of modern complicated war system is nil, I don’t know whether he fired at least a shot from Airgun.   Besides, his interest revolved more around Goan politics. He is known to apply his mind more for Goan politics than for  defense.  In the current Pathankot terrorist attack his leadership failed the nation very much.  When the situation was so  dangerous he instead of confining himself to the danger zone to monitor the situation  he was seen spending time in Goa lecturing his partymen on Goan politics.  This does not suit a responsible person who is the guardian of country’s borders.  In the end he will prove to be a shame for Goa.

It was surprising that none from the Tiatrists world was present there neither any writer from the Romi script.  At least to my knowledge I did not see there anyone from these segments.
