Every year for Rs 40 we used to be able to buy the Goa Government published calendar at the Government Printing Press. It was very handy and useful, as it had all the government notified public and restricted holidays on it.
We are already in the New Year and it is for the first time ever that we have no access to that Government calendar.
It is an irony that this has happened in a year when Goa is needlessly spending Rs 100 crores on a yearlong celebration of Goa’s 60th year of Liberation. The Government needs to clarify as to why the 2021 calendar is not yet available.
It is high time that this faltering and fumbling government gets its priorities right. There is need to heed to the voice of the people and govern with responsibility as sincere custodians of the State.
There should be total transparency and absolute accountability at all levels of Governance. Only then will the now debt-ridden Goa be on the road to economic recovery.
