Goa's Think Tanks for Community Empowerment

Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane unveils plans for community empowerment think tanks, aligning with PM Modi’s inclusive development goal, focusing on regional groups like Scheduled Tribes.

Goa Health Minister plans think tanks for community empowerment

Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane proposes think tanks for community empowerment, targeting diverse groups like Scheduled Tribes and Christians, aligning with PM Modi&rsquo;s inclusive development vision.

Goa health minister Vishwajit Rane on Friday said the government should set up think tanks that would come up with plans for uplifting various communities.
He was going to set up one such body for the Scheduled Tribes in his constituency of Valpoi, he told reporters here, adding that it will comprise thinkers, opinion-makers, members of the community and others.
"We will also have think tanks for Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes followed by those for Muslims and Christians," he said.
Think tanks should be established in every village so that area-specific issues could be addressed, the minister said, adding that the ultimate aim of the initiative is to take ahead Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of development.&nbsp;

Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Mumbai for Goa's cricket team in the 2025-26 Ranji season. His move, driven by personal reasons, heralds a new chapter as Goa ascends to the Elite division.

The story of Yashasvi Jaiswal

Indian cricket star Yashasvi Jaiswal shifts from Mumbai to join the Goa team for the 2025-26 Ranji season. The move, approved by MCA, is a strategic and personal transition. With Goa's promotion to the Elite division, Jaiswal aims to enhance team performance.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Move to Goa Explained

Yashasvi Jaiswal moves from Mumbai to Goa for the 2025-26 Ranji season. Citing personal reasons, the shift seems amiable. Jaiswal&rsquo;s skill is a significant morale boost for Goa, now in the Elite division.

Yashasvi Jaiswal will play for Goa from the next season!&nbsp; Yes, you have read that right.
 In a surprising move, Indian cricket&rsquo;s rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal has decided to part ways with Mumbai and join Goa for the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season. The move comes as Goa secures its place in the Elite division, marking a fresh chapter in Jaiswal&rsquo;s already inspiring cricketing journey.
&ldquo;It was a very tough decision for me. Whatever I am today is because of Mumbai. The city has made me who I am, and all my life, I will be indebted to the MCA,&rdquo; Jaiswal said when asked about his move.
What led to the Goa Move?&nbsp;
Jaiswal wrote an email to Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to change his cricket state team. &ldquo;He has sought a NOC from us and has cited that the reason for his move to Goa as personal,&rdquo; a source in the MCA confirmed.&nbsp;
 As an all-format player for India, Jaiswal&rsquo;s participation in domestic cricket is sporadic&mdash;he played just one Ranji Trophy match last season. Despite this, GCA secretary Shambu Desai believes his presence will be a massive morale booster for the squad. Goa is also looking to add another seasoned professional to strengthen their team.
The Mumbai Exit: Any Controversy?
Jaiswal&rsquo;s last appearance for Mumbai was in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy against Jammu &amp; Kashmir, where he scored 4 and 26 in a losing cause. He was set to play in the semi-final against Vidarbha but was ruled out due to an ankle injury.
MCA secretary Hadap dismissed any speculation about controversy surrounding his withdrawal from the crucial match.
Mumbai, with its record 42 Ranji Trophy titles, remains the most successful domestic team in India. Jaiswal made his mark in Mumbai&rsquo;s senior team in the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy with a series of impressive performances.
He later continued his stellar form in the Ranji Trophy, scoring three consecutive centuries in Mumbai&rsquo;s 2021-22 campaign.
Establishing Himself as a Star for India
Since making his Test debut in 2023 against West Indies, where he scored 171 runs, Jaiswal has consistently delivered on the international stage.
He became only the second Indian batter, after Sunil Gavaskar, to score 700+ runs in a Test series (against England in 2023-24).
His heroics in Australia, including a match-winning 161 in Perth, have further solidified his place in the team. He is no doubt a strong contender for a long-term role in ODIs once the senior players step aside.
IPL Journey: Rajasthan Royals&rsquo; Retained Star
Jaiswal has been an integral part of Rajasthan Royals since being signed in 2020. In IPL 2023, he set the record for the fastest fifty in tournament history, reaching the milestone in just 13 balls against KKR. He finished the season with 625 runs.
In IPL 2024, he scored 435 runs, leading Rajasthan Royals to retain him for INR 18 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
What This Move Means for Jaiswal and Indian Cricket
A domestic team switch is unlikely to impact Jaiswal&rsquo;s place in the Indian team, but his leadership role with Goa presents a new opportunity for growth. Whether this move strengthens his case for future leadership roles in Indian cricket remains to be seen.&nbsp;
How did it all start for Yashasvi Jaiswal? &nbsp; Jaiswal, originally from Uttar Pradesh, moved to Mumbai at the age of 11 with dreams of making it big in cricket. From selling pani puris to spending nights in a tent at Azad Maidan, his story is a perfect example of relentless struggle and determination.
The city&rsquo;s historic maidans polished his raw talent. honed his skills and helped him grow into the cricketer he is today. However, the 23-year-old is now ready to embrace a new challenge with Goa.
A Bold Decision at the Peak of His Career
Unlike many who leave Mumbai towards the end of their playing days, Jaiswal is making the switch while at the peak of his career.
With 1,798 runs in 19 Test matches at a remarkable average of 52.88, he is considered one of India&rsquo;s most promising batters.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to the Goa cricket team next season, amid a challenging IPL run and significant career decisions. This move is pivotal for the young cricketer.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Moves from Mumbai to Goa Team

Rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to Goa cricket team amid recent challenges in IPL 2025 and domestic cricket. The move may redefine his career trajectory.

Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to the Goa cricket team next season

Yashasvi Jaiswal, a promising Indian cricketer, shifts from Mumbai to the Goa team citing personal reasons, amid a challenging IPL season and recent Ranji performances.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket, is set to make a significant shift in his career trajectory. The star batsman, who has been a stalwart for the Mumbai state team since his under19 days, has decided to transition to the Goa cricket team from the next season.
Jaiswal has reportedly emailed the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to facilitate this move. The change echoes similar decisions by fellow cricketers Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad, who also swapped Mumbai for Goa in recent years.
Jaiswal's recent performances, especially in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy for Mumbai, come after a challenging spell in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) mandating participation in domestic red-ball cricket for national team players, stars like Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli were seen returning to their state teams.
However, from the next season, Jaiswal will don the Goa jersey in domestic competitions. An MCA source revealed that Jaiswal cited personal reasons for his decision.
In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Jaiswal has encountered a rough patch, scoring only 34 runs in three matches for the Rajasthan Royals. His average stands at 11.33, with a strike rate of 106.25, and his highest score being 29. RR's promising opener has had innings of 1, 29, and 4, reflecting the team&rsquo;s struggle for favorable outcomes.
Jaiswal&rsquo;s performance during powerplays since IPL 2024 has been a concern. He has been dismissed eight times out of 18 innings within the first three overs &mdash; a 44% dismissal rate &mdash; a marked increase from the 29% rate in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, during which he amassed 625 runs in the latter year.
The 2024 IPL season was below par for Jaiswal; he recorded 435 runs with an average of 31.07 and a strike rate nearing 156, scoring a solitary century and fifty.
Notably, his attacking shot percentage has decreased to 70% over the last two seasons, compared to the previous two seasons.
Jaiswal's move and current form will be closely watched by cricketing enthusiasts and could be pivotal in reshaping his career.

 "A casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us. The next thing we knew, we were struggling to stay afloat," he wrote in an Instagram post.
&nbsp;
Despite their swimming experience, the couple found themselves struggling against the strong current. After nearly 10 minutes of trying to stay above water, they called for help. A family consisting of an IPS officer and his IRS wife swiftly came to their rescue and pulled them to safety.
Allahbadia explained that although he had encountered underwater currents before, this was the first time he had faced such a challenge with someone else. "It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you," he shared.
The 31-year-old further recounted the harrowing experience, saying, "There was a point where I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away. That's when I decided to shout for help. Deep gratitude to the family...who saved us both. This experience left us feeling both blank as well as grateful. We felt the protection of God throughout the incident."
Reflecting on the ordeal, Allahbadia described it as a profound moment that changed his outlook on life. He acknowledged the near-death experience, calling it a brush with the "life-death barrier," and ended his post with gratitude, adding, "We lived for a reason."

Goa may face beef shortage as traders on strike against cow vigilantism

Police have failed to take action despite receiving complaints, he said, adding that meat traders would continue the strike till they get an assurance from the government about their security.

Goa could face beef shortage ahead of Christmas and New Year with meat traders in the state going on a strike to protest against `increased harassment&rsquo; by cow vigilante groups.
The shutdown started on Monday under the banner of the Quraishi Meat Traders Association (QMTA).
In a letter to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, the association claimed there was an increase in attacks from right-wing Hindu organisations on shops which sell beef legally.
&ldquo;The recent attack happened in Margao. We want action against these groups. We need protection from the government,&rdquo; said Abdul Bepari, a QMTA member.
Police have failed to take action despite receiving complaints, he said, adding that meat traders would continue the strike till they get an assurance from the government about their security.
As per government statistics, 20-25 tonnes of beef is sold in the coastal state daily, and the sales increase during tourist and festive seasons.
Congress MLA Carlos Alvares Ferreira told reporters on Monday that incidents of vigilantism were occurring across the state. &ldquo;Whether it is meat traders or any organisation, one must abide by the law,&rdquo; he said.
There have been instances where mobs suddenly entered houses to check the fridge or cupboard for beef, he said. &ldquo;This is absolutely trespassing and they have no authority to go there,&rdquo; the MLA added.
Cow vigilante groups also demand that they be allowed to inspect meat at shops though they do not have any authority, said Ferreira.
&ldquo;These people do not belong to any recognised bodies, and even if they are recognised (organisations), they have no right to enter shops and do such activities,&rdquo; he said.
Chief Minister Sawant on Monday had said the state-run Goa Meat Complex Limited will cater to the beef requirement. &ldquo;The meat complex provides hygienic beef,&rdquo; he had said.

Goa social welfare minister Subhash Phal Desai said permission to install the statue was obtained from the local panchayat. He added that political forces were instigating locals against the installation of the statue.

Tension over installation of Shivaji statue in Goa, police deployed

Goa social welfare minister Subhash Phal Desai said permission to install the statue was obtained from the local panchayat. He added that political forces were instigating locals against the installation of the statue.

Tension prevailed in a village near Margao town in Goa after some people installed a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, while another group took objection, leading to a police posse being stationed there to maintain peace, an official said on Monday.
The day marks the 394th birth anniversary of the Maratha emperor and events are held across the state to celebrate it.
The life-size statue was installed in Sao Jose De Areal village on Sunday, which led to a verbal altercation between two groups, the official said.
"The situation is under control and police personnel have been deployed in the village," Superintendent of Police (South) Sunita Sawant said.
Goa social welfare minister Subhash Phal Desai, who visited the village on Sunday, said the statue was installed on private land and all permissions from the local panchayat were obtained and the deputy collector was informed.
"No one must have any objection to the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Some political forces are instigating locals against the installation of the statue," he said.
Taking to X on Monday, local BJP leader Savio Rodrigues said, "As an Indian Christian I have the highest respect for the contribution of Chhatrapati Shivaji towards protecting our motherland. I am disappointed that some in Goa equate his sacrifices for our motherland as a point of contention to play their communal politics." Shivaji was a hardcore nationalist and every Indian must be inspired by him because of his immense valour and devotion to Bharat Mata, Rodrigues further said.

No more Gobi Manchurian in Goa: This Goa town bans the popular dish, the reason will shock you

Goa, known for its delicious delicacies, has banned gobi manchurian. FDA officials cited hygiene issues for the ban. Read to know more!

When in Goa, you can have the most delicious seafood dishes, but there is one thing you cannot have and that's Gobi Manchurian! Yes, that's right. You will not be able to find a vendor selling this Indian-Chinese delicacy. Goa&rsquo;s Mapusa has banned the delicacy from stalls and feasts. Wondering why so? Read on to know!
<h3>Goa's Mapusa bans Gobi Manchurian</h3>
The Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC), late last month, unanimously banned Gobi Manchurian stalls in Shree Bodgeshwar Zatra in Mapusa. They cited hygiene issues as the main cause. The concern stems from poor hygiene, the use of artificial colors, and the inclusion of powdered laundry detergent and questionable sauces.
A senior food safety officer (FSO) at the FDA said that sellers had been fined by the authorities for using low quality. &ldquo;They keep the quality sauce on display but use substandard ones for the preparation of gobi manchurian. They use some kind of powder in the flour and cornstarch in the batter so that after deep frying, the cauliflower florets remain crispy for a long time,&rdquo; the FDA officer told TOI.
According to the officer, this powder is a sort of reetha, used in washing clothes.
The Mapusa Municipal Council chairperson Priya Mishal further spoke about the ban and said, &ldquo;The councillors opined that such vendors operate in unhygienic conditions and use synthetic colours for making gobi Manchurian and that is what has prompted us to ban the sale of this dish.&rdquo;
Previously in 2022, the FDA had raided food stalls in Ponda, for unhygienic health conditions.
For the uninitiated, Gobi Manchurian is an Indian Chinese dish which originated in India. Manchurian is said to have been invented in 1975 by Nelson Wang, a cook at the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai

Stranger's video reveals Goa hotel manager drowned wife, arrested by police

Katiyar took his wife to a rocky area of the beach and drowned her in the sea. After committing the crime, he created commotion and tried to pass off the incident as an accident, PTI said quoting police.

A 29-year-old manager of a luxury hotel in South Goa was arrested on Saturday for allegedly drowning his wife at Cabo de Rama beach in Goa a day before, police said.
The accused, identified as Gaurav Katiyar, tried to project the death of his wife Diksha Gangwar (27) as an accident after committing the crime, but a video shot by a man exposed his claim.
Police found the body of Gangwar near the popular beach on Friday afternoon.
Prima facie, Katiyar killed Gangwar, whom he married a year ago, over his extramarital affair, an official said.
"The incident occurred at around 3.45 pm on Friday after Katiyar took his wife for a stroll on the beach, located not far from his workplace," the official said.
He took her to a rocky area of the beach and drowned her in the sea. "Injury marks were found on her body," the official added.
After committing the crime, Katiyar created commotion and tried to pass off the incident as an accident, he said.
Cuncolim police had also arrived at the spot.
According to the official, a video shot by a local exposed Katiyar's claims.
The video clip shows Katiyar coming out of the beach and returning apparently to ensure whether his wife has died, before raising the alarm to create the entire drama, he added.
The accused and the victim hail from Lucknow.

Goa makes selling staple fish curry-rice mandatory at beach shacks

The Goa government has made it mandatory for beach shacks to sell the state's staple fish curry-rice.

Shacks on Goa&rsquo;s beaches will now have to mandatorily serve &ldquo;fish curry-rice&rdquo;, a staple of the coastal state, along with other Indian and international cuisines, said tourism minister Rohan Khaunte on Sunday.
The compulsory inclusion of the coconut-based preparation, savoured for its tangy and spicy taste, in the menu of the joints is part of the state&rsquo;s new Shack Policy that aims to promote the Goan cuisine, the minister said.
Up until now, shacks along the shoreline offered North Indian food but Goan dishes were not available at these places, he said.
The government has now made it compulsory for shacks to "display and serve" the Goan food, including "fish curry-rice", he said.
"We have to project our rich cuisine to tourists,&rdquo; Khaunte said.
The tourism minister said that the Shack Policy, which was recently passed by the cabinet, also intends to address the challenge of illegal hawking and vending on the beaches.
He said that many women, who were involved in illegal hawking and vending on beaches, would pretend to be working at the shacks when they were apprehended by tourism department officials.
&ldquo;The new policy has mandated that each shack will have to submit the list of its staff to the department,&rdquo; he said. Those indulging in illegalities on beaches will face action, he said.
Khaunte said the department is cooperating with shack operators in possible ways, but they should also ensure that tourism is not hampered due to their actions.
He said that the state is working with a vision of quality over quantity but that won&rsquo;t happen overnight.
&ldquo;We have to work on our basic infrastructure. Anything related to tourism, we have to ensure that Goa as a tourism state has to have all the infrastructure to support the tourism industry,&rdquo; he said.
The minister said that hotels in Goa are recording an average of 80 per cent occupancy. &ldquo;The hoteliers are happy over the occupancy. But you cannot take things for granted. If there is a drop in occupancy, the hotel owners will blame the government,&rdquo; Khaunte said.
He said that the state has to step up efforts to promote tourism for which the department and other stakeholders will have to work together.

Pramod Sawant says 90 % of crimes in Goa due to labourers from UP, Bihar

The chief minister said that every migrant labourer working in the state should have a labour card given by the state government.

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has said that about 90 per cent of the crimes in the coastal state are committed by migrant labourers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and other areas, urging contractors to obtain "labour cards" before employing them.
Sawant made the claim at a Labour Day function on May 1 in Panaji.
The chief minister said that every migrant labourer working in the state should have a labour card given by the state government.
The Goa government issues labour cards to those working in the private, unorganised and industrial sectors to keep a record of employment as well as extend welfare measures to this category.
Sawant said that it is necessary to track the details of labourers as &ldquo;after committing a crime in Goa, migrant labourers often return to their state and it becomes difficult to locate them&rdquo;.

Goa: Dabolim airport in hot water with rights body after disabled UK woman's accusation

The commission stated in its notice that the act is clearly in violation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.

The Goa State Commission for Persons with Disabilities has issued a notice to the Dabolim airport director after a 62-year-old British woman alleged that two airport staffers extorted Rs 4,000 from her to provide wheelchair service to her.
An employee of the ground handling agency was suspended following the incident which took place on January 29, while the airport entry permits of two others were confiscated, the airport director said on Tuesday.
The commission, a quasi-judicial body, asked the director to submit an action taken report by February 13.
Katherine Frances Wolfe, who has mobility issues, had filed a complaint with the airport director, Goa's director general of police and the commission, narrating her ordeal of January 29 when she was heading back to London.
When she arrived at the Dabolim airport, the manager assigned two men to assist her with her wheelchair and baggage, said the complaint, filed by one Mikhil Vasant on her behalf.
But the two stopped Wolfe at a random spot in the airport and threatened to leave her there if she didn&rsquo;t pay up. She was then made to cough up Rs 4,000 for the wheelchair service, the complaint said.

The commission stated in its notice that the act is clearly in violation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.
It said the state should ensure &ldquo;non-discrimination and decent treatment of people with disabilities and women with disabilities respectively&rdquo;.
Airport Director SVT Dhanamjaya Rao in a media statement on Tuesday said an employee of the Trolley Retrieving Agency was suspended while the airport entry permit of two more staffers was confiscated after the incident.
&ldquo;The matter has been taken seriously by AAI Goa and it has investigated the incident. Wheelchairs, assistance to person with reduced mobility and trolley retrieval service are free of cost," he added.
