Villagers demand scrapping of housing projects in Nuvem

Villagers demand scrapping of housing projects in Nuvem
Serve 8 days deadline to panchayat
BY HERALD REPORTER


MARGAO, MAY 22 – Nuvem villagers have served a virtual deadline to the Panchayat members to either scrap all commercial housing projects within eight days time or resign and dissolve the Panchayat body.
This decision was taken at a meeting of the villagers held after last Sunday’s gram sabha meeting, which had vociferously demanded scrapping of mega housing projects.
“The village panchayat, Nuvem must realise that with the coming up of such projects, we will not only loose our identity and become aliens in our own home land, but it will become a great security risk with migrants roaming the streets, especially after 8 pm”, the villagers said.
“In North Goa, people are crying that their girls cannot walk on the road alone, even for tuitions”, a villager said and asked whether Nuvem wish to have the same situation in the village.
He pointed out that the roads are littered with garbage bags, while the rivers are pollution with waste. “Mosquitoes causing malaria, dengue and chikungunya and any other new sicknesses have arisen”, he added.
Pointing to the inadequate infrastructure, roads, water and power, to meet the current needs, the villagers maintained that the ancestors have preserved Nuvem for the people and it’s the responsibility of the present generation to protect the beautiful village for posterity.
Incidentally, Nuvem have been witnessing vehicle thefts and other burglaries in recent times, with the Men-in-uniform unable to achieve any breakthrough.
In fact, the people have been complaining of migrants stalking the streets at night, with the police night patrolling proving ineffective to reign in on the thieves and burglars.

Complaint filed by Nuvem residents

Complaint filed by Nuvem residents


From:
Residents of Belloi, C/o Mrs. Alda Souza,
99/U, "OUR NEST", Belloi, Nuvem, Salcete-Goa.
Dated 0l.02.2003.

To,
The Deputy Superintendent of Police,
Police Headquarters,
Margao - Goa.
Sub: Complaint against nuisance caused by a neighbour.

Sir,

We the residents of Belloi, Nuvem, hereby wish to submit as under :


This otherwise, extremely peaceful neighbourhood situated in Belloi ward
is for a long time now being disturbed by one Mr.Prasad; an obnoxious neighbour
who is a tenant of Mr.Joao Paul Dourado, a house owner in the neighbourhood.
The said man living in the above mentioned house all by himself with about
4 dogs is nothing but a menace to the neighbours.

The man is not known to hold a job or run any business and his whereabouts
are unknown. He is also known to be under influence of drugs/alcohol
at any given time.

Mr.Prasad has on several occasions set the dogs on the neighbours
to such an effect, that the children till date have to traverse to school
and back or anywhere else via the parallel lane to that of their residence
for fear of being attacked by these dogs. No amount of complaints
to the Panchayat or the Police who visit the neighbourhood for information
of unknown persons has yielded any effect as on date.
It is almost three years now that Mr.Prasad has been intimidating relatives,
friends and visitors to the neighbourhood; who also have on several occasions
been bitten by his dogs and physically assaulted by him. Even a polite request
from the neighbours to keep the dogs in check has only given him an opportunity
to assault them and use filthy language. Please find enclosed herewith
a Police complaint filed in this respect by Mrs.Margarita Gomes
(SDE No. 60/0l at 23.30 hrs on 07/07/0l).


He is known to have had numerous altercations with her.
He has trespassed the property of Mrs. Alda Souza by scaling the compound
wall with an excuse of searching for his lost dog.

The said Mr.Prasad has the habit of howling at the dogs in a very loud
and frightful manner every night upto 3.00 a.m. or 4.00 a.m. in the morning
and mercilessly beating them, thereby causing a loud noise and disturbing
the peace and tranquility of the neighbourhod especially that of the sick
and the old. Those dwelling on the side of his residence especially,
fall victims to this nuisance.

On 30/12/2002, it was noticed that Mr.Prasad had abandoned one of his dogs
that died after unsuccessfully trying to burn it.The pieces of the dog were
strewn by his other dogs all over the neighbourhood causing emanation
of a stench for over a week. This is the second instance since the last time
that two of his dogs were left dead in his compound by him without burying,
thereby causing a stench for over a week. His immediate neighbours unable
to bear the stench had to leave their residence at night and go elsewhere
to get some sleep.

Besides being of the opinion that this weird man has no right to spoil the
peace and cause nuisance and hardship to other neighbours, the mounting
patience of this neighbourhood has long run out due to nuisance caused and
the high handedness exhibited by him. It is gathered that he was summoned
by the Panchayat vide letter no. VP/Nuvem/2001-02/592 dtd 18/7/2001
in response to the complaint received from Mrs.Margarita Gomes
(copy of summon enclosed).However till date his activities continued unabated.
The Police Officers and the constables who patrol the neighbourhood and
collect information on unknown residents have on several accounts been notified
of this fact and the same has been entered in their logbook; but no action
whatsoever has been taken so far to book this criminal.It is therefore felt that
the said man is being protected by some Superior in the Police department.

We hereby, earnestly request you to look into the matter and evict the person
from neighbourhood by seeking the cooperation of the owner of the house
Mr.Joao Paul Dourado who resides in Murda ward of Nuvem village, in order
to restore peace to this neighbourhood; thereby enabling the children and other
neighbours to use the lane freely without the fear that they have been
living with, for almost three years now.


Hoping you will take immediate action to put an end to this menace once
and for all.We thank you in anticipation and await justice.
Yours truly,

Residents of Belloi
Mrs.Margarita Gomes; Mr.Navraj Joshi; Mr.Basant Kumar Mehta;
Mrs.Blance Mascarenhoas, Mr.Aleixo Rodrigues; Mr.Michael D'Souza;

Another case of corrupt officials, I suppose eviction is out of the
question.
This animal needs to change places with his dogs and whipped likewise until
he learns to be considerate to his fellow neighbours.

Parish Youth Nuvem champions


Parish Youth Nuvem champions

Alvernaz & Lalush Alemao Memorial Cup

MARGAO, MAY 25 — Parish Youth Nuvem provided glimpses of planned play to record an emphatic 2-0 win over Ambelim Sports Club to lift the Alvernaz and Lalush Alemao Memorial Cup football tournament organised by Churchill Brothers in the final played at Varca Grounds on Sunday. Parish Youth were leading 1-0 at the breather..
The final was expected to provide plenty of thrills and excitement for the Sunday crowd but it turned out to be a one sided affair. The flair was missing in Ambelim sides and there were hardly any decent constructive moves.
Both the sides went on the offensive from the start and the pace was good initially. But as the match progressed, Parish Youth showed urgency and were more aggressive.

Parish Youth midfielders Daniel Colaco and Remy Colaco did a commendable job by spraying accurate passes to keep their forwards busy.
Ambelim failed to pile up the pressure that naturally suited the Nuvem lads to carry out the raids in search of goals and their efforts fetched them dividends midway in the first half when Joaquim Fernandes set piece from outside the rival box hit the Ambelim defender and eluded the rival goalkeeper to put them in front..
Parish Youth could have doubled the lead but their forwards messed after reaching the rival penalty area.
The Ambelim players after getting a pep talk from coach at the lemon break put up an improved performance on resumption immediately had two clear scoring chances to nullify the Parish youth lead but midfielders Stanley Fernandes and Percival D’Silva were the culprits muffing easy sitters.
Parish Youth continued their hunt for goals and attacked the rival citadel vigorously and Cedar Colaco ensured that the Parish Youth would go home with handsome margin when he found the target to kill the Ambelim challenge with a rasping strike.
Earlier Sporting Clube de Goa defeated Navelim Youth Eves 2-0 in an exhibition girls football match.

Parish Youth Nuvem was richer by Rs 60,000, while Ambelim Sports Club received Rs 30,000. The following prizes were awarded;
Best Defender Of The Tournament: Faisal Martins of Union of Chinchinim Villagers; Best Half Of The Tournament: Zico Fernandes of Young Strikers, Benaulim; Highest Scorer Of The Tournament: Vilroy D’Cruz of Varca Sports Club; Best Goalkeeper Of The Tournament: Reagan Alemao of Varca Sports Club; Best Midfielder Of The Final: Stanley Fernandes of Ambelim Sports Club.
Best goalkeeper of the final; Lenny of Ambelim Sports Club.

Chief Minister Digamber Kamat , who was the chief guest distributed the winner and runners up cash prizes. Speaking on the occasion, Kamat lauded the work undertaken by Churchill Brothers in promoting football in Goa and in India. He said despite being the family club, Churchill Brothers kept his name all over country and won the hearts of football lovers. Churchill Alemao proposed a vote of thanks. In all 16 teams participated in the tournament.

Roscoe Fernandes: The young Lawyer based in U.K.


UK: Roscoe Fernandes: Lawyer of the week

17 April, 2007: The Times (UK). Roscoe Fernandes, a senior solicitor at Freeth Cartwright LLP, the Nottingham firm, acted for Anna Coulombeau, who won one of the first tribunal cases involving adoption rights. Excerpts from the interview: What was your worst day as a lawyer? Probably being told early on as a trainee that it may be wise for me to consider Plan B, which was to become a restaurateur … Who has been the most influential person in your life? A close family friend who suddenly passed away in 2001 just before my graduation from the University of Nottingham … For text of the Times article, 461 words, http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article1660003.ece

Roscoe Fernandes was born in Reading, UK in 1980, the son of Manuel Douglas Ignatius Fernandes and Priscilla Augusta Ora Fernandes who were both born in Zanzibar. He is the brother of Daniel and Tracy who were born in Brighton. He traces his Goan roots to Nuvem (mother) and Raia (father). Roscoe studied at Reading School and the University of Nottingham, and currently resides in Nottingham. His hobbies are Badminton, walking, cinema, theatre, dining out.

Lawyer of the week: Roscoe Fernandes
Linda Tsang
Roscoe Fernandes, a senior solicitor at Freeth Cartwright LLP, the Nottingham firm, acted for Anna Coulombeau, who won one of the first tribunal cases involving adoption rights. She was unfairly dismissed by Enterprise Rent-a-Car UK Ltd after her expressed intention to take adoption leave. The tribunal also found that she was discriminated against on the ground of her sex, and awarded compensation for unfair dismissal and an award for injury to feelings for the sex discrimination.

What were the challenges in this case and the implications?

When I was first approached by Anna, it was evident that she had been dismissed because she was intending to adopt, but there was no documentary evidence that that was the reason for dismissal. The whole case hinged on the tribunal deciding in our favour on the basis of oral evidence given by the witnesses. It is always more difficult where there are no documents to back up what you are asserting. The implications for Anna were serious — she wanted to clear her name by showing that the real reason for her dismissal was because she intended to take adoption leave. A finding that her intention to adopt was the real reason for dismissal made her dismissal automatically unfair.

What was your worst day as a lawyer?

Probably being told early on as a trainee that it may be wise for me to consider Plan B, which was to become a restaurateur.

What was your most memorable experience as a lawyer?

Without a doubt watching the tears of joy roll down the face of Anna Coulombeau when I told her that all of her limbs of complaint had been decided in her favour by the employment tribunal.

Who has been the most influential person in your life and why?

A close family friend who suddenly passed away in 2001 just before my graduation from the University of Nottingham. She was always very supportive of my goals and aspirations, even when I questioned whether or not the law was the correct route for me.

Why did you become a lawyer?

I did not have the stomach to become a doctor. Seriously, the real reason was because I wanted to work closely with people and feel that I was making a difference to their lives, even though this sounds rather clichéd.

What would be your advice to anybody wanting a career in law?

Work hard, play hard and you will get to where you want to be.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Hopefully as an equity partner in this firm (if I haven’t bought a restaurant by then).
