And I thought, wearing of helmets or headgears are not compulsory in
City/municipal areas like Panjim.
I wish some traffic cops are permanently stationed at Ferry Point,
Panjim-Betim.
Up to 40 riders can be challanned not per day but per
ferryboat trip.
i.e. 128 trips x 40 x Rs.100 = Rs.5, 12, 000 per day
(Assuming av. 8 trips per hour up & down) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk37/5600169166/
How many more deaths Mr. Chief Electrical Engineer?
No, I will not ask the same to Power Minister or Chief Minister as for them
Such deaths are minor issues as they feel things can be patched up after compensating the
Family by a meagre amount of Rs. 2 lakhs per death.
But this death by electrocution is very serious matter..
Gross negligence on the part of Power Dept Staff noted.
When the villagers saw the snapped wire, they immediately reported at the local section office
by logging on the complaint book.
Despite reporting, the electricity Dept. Failed to switch off the power leaving there for two days thus causing death of an innocent
young Arjun of Dhaukond Dharbandora on 8th May 2011
Power Minister, Chief Electrical Enginneer,AE, JE, Linesmen etc have serious explanation
to give in this incident as to why the power was not switched off for 2days?
What more? They were quick enough to join the snapped wire (not even replace by new one).
Worst part of it is 'No guard loops' provided throughout the section even after 11 days from the incident.
As if the Dept playing with the lives of the people (pl see various pics and Video here).
No employer's visit to the household (Father working for Salgaocars mines as watchman)
No MP or MLA's Visit (MLA Salgaokar),
No Power minister nor Chief minister visited
No Chief Electrical Engineer nor AE or JE or linesman visited
No Patrakar or Media people visited
No financial Help received from anyone
Young Arjun was the only child. (An ITI Student)
What the parents must be going through?
As for me, I have personally seen the mother sitting in one corner and will not move or talk
God, Give courage to them to bear the loss
Note: JoeGoaUk wishes to contribute upto Rs.10k if anyone or any Lawyer takes up this criminal case against Power Dept. They can’t get away all the time.
Dharbandora is about 55 Kms from Panjim.
As we were first timers, we took the wrong route i.e. Usgao Heavy mining trucks route which delayed our visit by half a hour.
While coming back we came via Dhargal I think
Update: about 3 years later (29.4.2014)
Youth's death: 4 power officials booked for negligence
PONDA: Following the recommendation by the state electrical inspectorate at Panaji, Colem police have booked four electricity officials for the death of Sanjay Prabhakar Gaonkar, 17, from Dhavkond in Dharbandora three years after the incident.
Gaonkar, a trainee at ITI, Cacora was electrocuted in a stream on May 8, 2011. TVK Govindam, executive engineer; Remedio Fernandes, assistant engineer; Jagpalsingh Chaudhary, junior engineer; and Ankush Raghu Shilkar, lineman/wireman have been booked under Section 304-A of Indian Penal Code.
Parrikar Govt recently enhanced compensation amount to kin of those electricity employee who die on duty. However, the compensation level of those civilians deaths due to negligence of Power Dept remains the same i.e. 2 lacs?
She died here
In between the coconut tree and the well
The tumbler which she was carrying still lying at the spot
(White plastic bucket)
The overhead wires just been replaced with brand new ones
also seen http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextra2/4706212394/sizes/l/
The deceased was going to the toilet around 5.30pm
On her way back she came in contact with two LIVE wires
that were snapped from overhead.
One wire was entangled around here neck and the
other around her waste.
Our electricity Dept is one of the richest dept.,
I am sure, it cannot give the excuse saying they cannot
afford to provide 'guard loops' to all areas.
It’s their sheer negligence.
It’s a matter of shame.
What has happened to the ‘ordered Enquiry’
of the Father-son death last year Mr. Aleixo Sequeira?
Rs. 2 lakhs compensation - That’s all it takes to forget
all about it?
A request to social activists, NGOs etc
Can you please
take up these cases to the court of law
and fight for maximum compensation/ justice to both the families?
It's a pure case of Electricity Department Negligence, unless they feel the pinch, the dept will never improve and more and more innocent people will continue
dying...
Son’s Last Words: "Mother, it’s time for me to go, you stay there, don’t come near me".
When the Parish Priest disclosed this to those who gathered in the chruch to bid
adieu to Father/Son, tears were seen in almost everybody’s eyes. Seen many using
their handkerchief to wipe their tears including one of the four Concelebrants.
Priest said ‘Domingos was a very social person loved by all’
They were neither ministers nor politicians nor tiatrists nor top people.
There are just the common people coming from weaker section of the society.
There was no funeral brass band, no expensive coffins. Nor I see any minister or
MLA or press/media men
There was no newspaper obituary announcing the death and funeral.
Just one black and one white cotton cloth coffins.
Sisters were wailing ‘Mazo Daddy tho’ ‘Mazo Bhau tho’ (He is my dad, he is
my brother)
Seen many youngsters weeping, sometimes louder than the family members.
Since the village is Hindu dominated, many non-Christians guys also seen outside
the church.
The village priest Fr. Menino Vales, after the mass, made a strong plea to the Govt.
saying that he wish to pass this message thru the media men here (I could not see any)..
to replace all the old, outdated and rusted electricity wires and poles and thus saving innocent lives.
He also mentioned about the pathetic road conditions in the village.
Some Pics:
This is just outside their house from where this pic was taken.
Here they both came in contact with the LIVE killer wire
See overhead wire which is now replaced
This is just about 15-20 meters away from the house http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextras/3889783718/sizes/l/
This is at the church. Our Lady of Milagres
Raining heavily but it did not stop people coming to say good bye
About 250 people seen outside the church and about 75 upstairs.
Another about 250 in the side extensions/doors http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextras/3889781606/sizes/l/
I ring the Morjim Parish No, bell going but no reply, been trying since 10am till 1pm only to find out if the funeral taken place in the morning or it’s going to be in the evening.Finally at around 1pm, I managed to phone Siolim School where I was told funeral was at 2.30pm
After KAP, I am sure Fr. Bismarque is all set to form a BAP?
(BAP being Baina Affected People?), who is one of the core members of
the GRA for asking special status for Goa, anti-corruption etc
While we try to save on illegal money (corruption etc) we already lost
over 50 crores is just two days by the very actions of the KAP
As for Baina, I still don't understand as to why the authorities could solve
the Baina beach shitting problems - Is that really too difficult
situation?
How about filing a PIL?
What about the prominent citizens or NGOs including doctors from Vasco
area?
Haven't we seen the state of Khariawado beach (see link bellow).
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, APRIL 28
The High Court of Bombay at Goa
will decide the fate of 416 alleged illegal structures next week, which have
been erected
on the former red light area - Baina beach without municipal
licenses or permissions.
The Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) on Thursday
submitted a list of structures, which was compiled after a thorough
survey following Court orders earlier this month.
A division bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and F M Reis adjourned the hearing till May 3 directing the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority to submit an affidavit in reply over
the matter.
During the last hearing, the bench had directed the MMC to complete
the process of identifying alleged illegal structures at Destora, Baina
and Katem Baina in Vasco, and submit its survey report by the next date of hearing, on Thursday.
==
Previously..
At Vasco Khariwado:
There are 363 structures identified as illegal
-
Only about 66 demolished so far on 31.3.11 as most other managed to obtain ‘stay
order’.
- Over 80% of them are migrants with their own habits

IV - Stabat Mater (During Lent/Korezm)
Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta Crucem lacrimosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.
Cujus animam gementem,
Contristatam et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti!
Quem maerebat, et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat
Nati paenas inclyti.
Quis est homo, qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
In tanto supplicio ?

After 9 days of preparations, there come the Feast Day..
Special things for the festive day be it in the form of dress code, Violin,
Decorations, snacks / drinks and not forgetting the special litany on
the day – We call it ‘basha’ ladin
Litany can be sung in various tunes – low tempo, med. and fast.
If you want to finish it quickly, we used quicker mode etc
(usually when litany started late, rainy day or one has to attend more
than one litany same evening etc)
But on the feast day it is 1.5 times or 2 times longer than the normal
mode or tempo.
We did not have that many festive tunes, may be 2 or 3.
Here is one (in Latin)
On 3rd May 2013
Recorded at Velsao
I have also added beautiful festive pics / scenes of Baradi cross feast.
I am sure you will love it
An hour at Bambolim Miraculous Cross (Fulamcho Khuris)
(with pics & Video - pl click on any pic for instant larger view)
I was invited for a litany at the miraculous Cross on 13th May 2007.
I was there an hour earlier and was very happy to spend some memorable moments there with the crowd/groups that come there for litany from all over Goa.
This ‘Fulamcho Furis’ atleast 50 years old is very famous and people from all religions seen paying respect to this miraculous Cross in many ways such as..
Pl CLICK ON PICS FOR ISTANT LARGER VIEW
Some motor vehicles will stop (offering candles/flowers)
Some slow down (their vehicles)
Some regular travelers/drivers seen sounding their vehicle horn (as a sign of respect.)
Some passengers are even seen throwing some (currency) coins from their moving vehicles.
The cross is always seen almost hidden with the flowers (garlands) which devotees bring and put around the cross see pic (flowers and candles also available for sale at the site).
Litany or Ladin (Ladainha)
Traditionally, litanies were sung in Latin laguange e.g Kyrie eleison, Ora pro nobis, Salve Regina, Alma Redemptoris etc now most sing in their mother tongue 'Konkani'.
On Sundays, it is very busy there, so busy that the group who come to sing litany will have to take a token from the Shrine’s office for their turn. Litanies are sung one after another with group size ranging from 12-100. Each litany is of av. 20 minutes duration.
Video clip: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=V6VnabfrgO0
So why litany?
Some people take a vow saying that if their wish is fulfilled (e.g. Recovery from Sickness/hospitals, school/college examinations, employment, promotion, marriage, babies etc etc) they would come here and offer flowers, candles and litany. Besides, it is a tradition at every village ward level (Cross), at time of weddings, baptism, first Communion, birthdays, anniversaries etc
The present shrine/Church (see pic) is about 10 years old.
There are daily masses and 3 on Sundays.
Video clip various groups & litany http://thisisgoa.com/view/62a8f10f26d1a2d1727b How to get here? It is right on the NH17 on Panjim-Cortalim-Margao/Vasco road.
Close to Bambolim Goa Medical College or Military Camp area.
All local buses stop nearby (just a minute or two walk either way from the bus stop)
Bus fare from Panjim Rs.5
Route: Panjim-Bambolim-Siridao-Goa-Velha-Pilar-Agassaim-Cortalim-Margao/Vasco or vice-versa
Plenty of shops around for cold drinks etc. If you walk little further (behind the church), there is small and simple open air type restaurant offering Fish curry rice (famous for fish and boiled rice) and alcoholic drinks etc.
